Most folks are concerned about giving the perfect gift at Christmas.
Only God can do that and that’s just what He did when He sent Jesus into this world. He gave Jesus to be life for our dead souls and light to our darkened hearts.
John 1:1, 4,14 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
[4] In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
[14] And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
God not only sent us a little bit of eternity, He sent us the very heart of heaven. The power of Christmas is God in the manger.
The Light that has shone brightly from eternity past — that gleamed in Bethlehem’s manger,— that shone for 33 years while Jesus walked this earth, — that flickered briefly at Calvary but blazed forth at the entrance to an empty tomb.
That light will continue to light the path toward eternity for all those who desire to follow Jesus.
“Joy to the World, the Lord is come — Let earth receive her King; — Let every heart prepare Him room, — And Heaven and nature sing, — And Heaven and nature sing, — And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing.”
Isaac Watts
