Happy Birthday Jesus!

 For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given, and the government will be upon His shoulder. and His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace

—Isaiah 9:6

It’s finally here…Christmas Day. Our savior is born and he is wonderful, counselor, almighty, redeemer. Now what? 

This day can be a great day for young children anticipating gifts under the tree but why do we give gifts and do the children know? Do you know? This is not Santa Claus’s birthday but the savior of the world. 

What does this day mean to you? For many it is painful as expectations are not met or families are at odds with each other’s. For some it reminds them of a family member who is not with them. Try today to really think about the baby Jesus in a manger and came specifically to set us free from our sins. Read the Christmas story in Luke 2 and maybe watch the latest Chosen. Regardless Jesus is Lord and He is to be celebrated. 

PRAYER:I worship you lord and thank you for a day when society slows down for just a bit to celebrate you. I pray for those who don’t know you as their savior to maybe be transformed this season in a worship service. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
