Here it is, Christmas Day. Another year of remembering the birth of our Saviour. If it’s not your first Christmas, be sure to still be amazed by the story of it all.
Today, as your family gets up and goes through your family tradition, keep Christ in Christmas. Read the Christmas story. Sing a Christmas carol. Give a gift to Jesus. Please keep a focus upon the Person of Jesus throughout the day.
As some of us are celebrating Christmas in New York City our tradition is all mixed up! No snow has fallen, but it is cold. We have walked the streets of the city for the past two days. Last night walked past the window displays at Macy’s. Monday night we walked past the window displays at Saks Fifth Ave. One thing that stands out about them is that not one window reminds anyone of the Nativity. But, we have found more New Yorkers who are willing to say, “Merry Christmas,” than in San Francisco! That makes it a little more Christmasy!
What a blessing we have been given to receive salvation. The plan started in the heart of God, continued in the incarnation of the Son, progressed to the cross and the resurrection, and will eventuate in our eternal home on the new Earth. Let’s praise Him for “His unspeakable gift.”
