Now that all the Christmas gifts are opened and most of the wrapping
paper is out of the way, take a few moments to thank God for the best Christmas gift you will ever receive, His Son Jesus.
I hope you had a very Merry and Christ filled Christmas,
It is a time to reflect on the greatest gift ever given. God came down to earth and took on human form. He lived amongst us enduring all the things we do. He grew tired and became hungry. His feet hurt after a long day on the roads. He was ignored by family and friends. Some thought Him crazy. He came down knowing that He would suffer one of the cruelest and most painful deaths imaginable. Still He came down. He came as a little baby
He came as a baby not an all powerful God. He was born in a barn. The place smelled like all barns smell. A feeding trough was His bed. God as a little baby, unable to care for Himself He needed Mary and Joseph to feed Him and change Him. Not exactly how I would have done it. But God did not want to force Himself on us. He wants each to come to Him on their own. So He came as a little baby.
He would grew up just like us. I can imagine Jesus helping Joseph in the carpentry business. He would hit His thumb with a hammer and nick Himself with the saws. He would scrape Hi knees and run home crying like we all have done. Running to the arms of His mother. He lived just like us. He experienced the things we all do, love, heartache, pain and joy. He came to us as a little baby.
So after all the gifts are open Christmas morning and the floor looks like a wrapping paper blizzard hit the house. Take a few minutes and remember, He came as a baby. He came to save the world. He came to change the world. He came to save you and me. That little baby came that day over two thousand years ago. That baby is the reason we celebrate Christmas. Forget all the gifts around the tree, none surpass they gift God gave us that day. He came as a little baby.
Have a merry and blessed Christmas.
