What is the first thing today you think of when I say Christmas?
Hopefully it is not what comes to my mind, but I bet it is…
I think of presents to buy and wrap, I wonder if the things I ordered and are in the mail or on a truck between there and here will arrive on time so I can wrap them. We get so hung up on what we are getting and hoping we got the right gift, that we forget the wonder of the season.
The wonder of a God who would step down to his creation to walk among his people, to bring peace and comfort in a way that completely baffled creation. The wonder of a baby who had no room in the inn, and was greeted by the lowest shepherds, and was proclaimed by the dregs of society. The wonder of a savior that was born in a feed bin, and then died the death of a criminal to bring us into a relationship with him self. The wonder of the women, who were the first witnesses and were not good witnesses. The wonder of a God who turned the world on it’s head to have a relationship with YOU!
Remember the wonder of Christmas in the greatest gift you ever received long before you were born, the invitation from your creator to be in relationship with him, and his son who came here to hand deliver it!
