Family, friends, feasts, gifts, and...worship?
Christmas brings with it so many seasonal delicacies. Be it the awesome food that we wait all year to devourer, the time with family that doesn't seem like such an inconvenience, and the quest for gifts. And while each of these could be considered one of the treats of the season, each of them pales in comparison to the true, deeper meaning and worth of Christmas: the birth of the Messiah, the Savior, Christ Jesus.
The heart and essence of Christmas ultimately lies in the birth of Jesus, the prophesied Messiah. The reality of His birth should render a sincere adoration and worship within us. But how easily we are drawn astray to those other staples of Christmas with little regard for the weightier, more divine narrative at work in the Christmas narrative.
So, as Christmas eve is upon us I simply ask that we would all keep our focus securely fixed upon the greatness of God! Amen!
