Merry Christmas Everyone!

Let's remember the real reason for the season...the birth of Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world. God became man, immortality took on mortality, the hands that fashioned mountains now became the hands of a little baby, the Creator of the universe divesting Himself of all His glory to meet the needs of lowly man.

Christmas isn't just about giving, or being with family, or nice memories of celebrations past. Those things are great, but it's about so much more. It's about Jesus, it's all for the glory of God, it's all about the joy God gives us through relationship with the Savior. So let's remember the Nativity, the birth of the Savior.

"While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger." Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests (Luke 2:6-14)."

Merry Christmas everyone!
