Read: Go back and reread the entire Christmas narrative in Luke or Matthew.
Key Verse: “Why were you searching for me?” he asked. “Didn’t you know I had to be in my Father’s house?” (Luke 2:49) We know in Scripture when Jesus was 12 and the family went to Jerusalem to celebrate Passover, Jesus stayed behind and was separated from His mom and dad for 4 days. They were frantic when they finally found Him in the Temple listening to the teachers and asking them questions. Can you imagine losing your child for 4 days? Yet Jesus had just one mission during His time on earth – to save sinners and provide a way to reconcile God’s people with God. Take time today to give thanks for Jesus’ sacrifice and wonder at the impact such a small baby boy had on the entire world – an impact still felt today some 2,000 years later. Christmas is so much more than a baby in a manger...it’s the greatest gift of all time. If you haven’t yet accepted that gift of salvation, today’s the day! Admit you’ve sinned, repent, and recognize that we need a savior, tell Jesus you believe He’s God’s son and He came to save you; surrender to Him. Your life will never be the same! Pray: Father God, we cannot begin to fathom what it took for you to send your Son to save us, and what it took for your Son to come and fulfill His mission. But we are so eternally grateful that He did. From the innocent face of an infant wrapped in cloths and laid in a manger to the compassion of the man hanging on the cross, we have been forever changed. And we will never stop telling everyone we know about His amazing love. Thank you Lord. Comments are closed.
