Thoughts of Christmas
I can’t believe I didn’t put up a post for Christmas but I hope you all had a wonderful day celebrating with your loved ones. Whether a large gathering or a small one, I hope that Jesus was the center. After all, without Him, there would be no Christmas. I realize December 25 is more than likely not the day that Jesus was born but I’m grateful to have a day in which to think about the sacrifice He made in leaving the splendor of Heaven to come to earth as a helpless baby. As He grew, He must have been teased as other children. I’m sure He was misunderstood as He refused to give in to peer pressure.
Then there was the time as a teenager when He began teaching teachers. Here was a young man from a poor family, not even a teenager yet but He knew so much more than those who had spent years studying and learning. What must they have thought?
I can’t understand love so strong that a person would choose to leave the luxury of Paradise and come to live with sinful human beings who wouldn’t appreciate Him but would mock Him, spit on Him, and even kill Him. That is love beyond comprehension but He did it for you and for me.
Thank You, Lord, for Your love. Teach me how to love You in return.
