I prayed quite a bit tonight asking God what He would have me tell you this Christmas. I wrote a bunch of stuff (on my own) and erased it all. His message for you is this:
1. He loves you.
2. Jesus is alive and well.
3. God wants you to know Him better, but He won’t force himself on you. You have to step closer to Him. As you get to know Him more, you’ll truly understand that all He wants for you is good, very good.
4. God sent His Son Jesus for a reason. Don’t take it lightly. You cannot measure the price He paid so you could have a personal relationship with Him. God’s gift to you is free, so stop measuring yourself against anything. You’ll never be good enough to go to heaven without a Savior, so God took care of this for you.
This is what Christmas is really about.
I put together a little slide show for you, along with one of my alltime favorite Christmas songs. Turn up your speakers. Listen very closely to the words. And imagine yourself in Bethlehem…
Oh… before you go, I want to wish you the best Christmas ever.
