Christmas Eve Reflections
So we have finally made it. Christmas Eve. What makes this Christmas so different from every other Christmas? Yes we all are a year older, new presents will be unwrapped, another year of fulfilling traditions. But is anything different spiritually? Have you used this advent season to prepare your heart to celebrate Christmas in a different way this year? It is the birthday of our Savior. The people in Old Testament times waited hundreds of years for this to occur and when it finally did, it happened in a way that they never expected. Today, we have this free gift waiting, not under the tree, but in the manger. He is Jesus and He wants you to experience Christmas in a way that you never have before. Just as the wise man gave gifts to the Christ child, the only gift that we can give Jesus is our heart. Allow the free gift of salvation to be unwrapped in your heart today. If you do, I promise you that Christmas will never be the same. In the busyness of our Christmas this year, lets take a little time to remember what happened on that first Christmas morn. Open your Bible up to Matthew or Luke and read about how it happened. Jesus is still and always will be the true reason for the season. Merry Christmas.
