to really contemplate the Reason for the season......
My devotional this morning was about the song "Good Christian Men, Rejoice".
It says...."Christmas should be the most joyous season of the year for all true
Christians. Our lives should be filled with gratitude to God for the immeasurable
love shown to us in the gift of His Son. Out of joyous hearts we should be
exuberant in "heart and soul and voice!"
The festive spirit of Christmas, however, should not fade away as the holiday
passes. The joy and peace that Christ brings to our lives should enable us to be
continually rejoicing Christians, regardless of circumstances. The blessings
that came to us on Christmas morn have illuminated our lives FOREVER!"
Just like we should be thankful every day of the year, we should also rejoice
that Christ came to earth as a babe every day of the year!
I hope you will look up the words to the song and think about the words to
each verse. Praise God, He sent His only begotten Son to die for our sins!
There are some who say Jesus was not born on December 25th and to that I agree.
We do not know exactly when He was born, but we do know He was born! And we
should celebrate the fact that He was born to die!
Another interesting fact I read this year.....Jesus' incarnation probably happened
at Christmas and He was born in September....just a thought for you to think
about......
