CHRISTmas

Is Christmas about Reindeer pulling a sleigh around that contains a fictional man with a bearded face?

Or is Christmas about a man lifted up on a cross being pulled there by his love  and grace?

A fictional man giving presents to all.

Or the Son of God giving the gift of salvation to those who receive His call?

One has to agree that Santa is a lot of fun.

But Christmas is really about Jesus and all He has done.

Santa yells for his reindeer to go up, up and away.

Jesus tells us to give of ourselves until he comes back someday.

To the children of God love, joy, and peace will be among the many gifts they will find.

But with Santa’s gifts, you will find they won’t pass the test of time.

Christmas is truly about Christ who gave Himself to be put on the cross.

It was done as a gift to save the lost.

Christmas is a time for God to fill you with His love, joy and peace.

Then hopefully, those battles in you and around you can for several days cease.

So, this Christmas, please think about what Christ did for you.

Then allow Him to move into your heart with the gift of making you new.

Our fictional Santa is a nice thought no doubt.  

But isn’t Christ and His gift of sacrifice what Christmas is about?

So, as I say a bedtime prayer and turn out the light, I will also say

Merry CHRISTmas to all and have a blessed night.          Lionel Copyright 2018
