It's Christmas morning and everyone will be up soon and unwrapping their gifts. There will be squeals of delights, oohs and ahhs, and in some cases, silent disappointment. Whatever gifts show up under your tree, the most important gift to be rediscovered is that for which this Season is celebrated - God's Son Jesus Christ. I hope yo will take time to sqeal with delight over His this morning.
Here's why. Last night this was our Christmas reading at our Christmas Eve Service. It wonderfully decribes Christ our Savior.
"There was no doubt - Jesus was the One. The Magi, kings from the East, had no hesitation or reluctance to fall down and worship this infant King. Why? He was the One. He is the One... the Hope for all mankind. He is more than a great prophet, more than a great teacher, more than a great leader. He is the One that Jehovah God sent to earth to fulfill His amazing plan of redeeming fallen man. For ever need, Jesus is the One.
To the hungry, He's the Bread of Life.
To those in darkness, He's the Light of the World.
To the sick, He's the Great Physician, the Healer of Broken Hearts, Broken Homes and Broken Lives.
For the thirsty, He is the Water of Life that quenches the thirsty soul.
To the weary, He's the Burden Bearer.
To the confused and perplexed, He is counselor.
To the lonely, He's the friend who is closer than a brother.
And for the fearful, He is the King who protects His own.
For those so stressed by the pressures of life, He is the Prince of Peace.
For the discouraged, He is the Hope of Glory.
For those who are lost, He is the Way.
For those trapped in bondage, He is the Door to freedom.
He is Wonderful, Counselor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father - the Prince of Peace. He is our Comforter, our Hope, our Healer... Our Savior!"
To all my readers, I say, "Merry Christmas!"
