He’s Here!
To celebrate Christmas we
light
the Christ Candle
“The Word became flesh and made his dwelling
among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came
from the Father, full of grace and truth.” (John 1:14, NIV)
Today’s Thought: God Almighty, the Creator of all things, wrapped Himself in flesh
and lived among us to show us the nature, power, and glory of the Father.
Hallelujah!
Today’s Prayer: Lord
God, You created this earth. You gave frail humans dominion over your creation
and the right to choose. When we chose poorly, You set a plan in place to
reconcile us to You. For centuries you carefully arranged every circumstance,
every instance, every detail, until the perfect time arrived. How many spotless
lambs were selected from among the flocks of Israel to be sacrificed upon the
altar to hide the people’s sins? All those offerings were merely leading up to
the perfect Lamb of God, the One who would not cover the people’s sins, but
eradicate them forever. At exactly the right moment, You entered this world as
a frail infant and arrived humbly among us. On this joyous day I join with
millions of Your children to celebrate the incredible fulfillment of Your plan
in Jesus’s birth. I am overcome with awe, and filled with gratitude. I love you,
Lord. Happy birthday, Jesus!
