I like to call it the hoopla of Christmas.
You know what I mean by that. It’s all the things we do that really don’t have much to do with Christmas.
Actually, I like the hoopla of Christmas. I like parties, presents, excitement, and the joy of having some special family time.
Paul stated that “If anyone is in Christ Jesus, he is a new creature” (2 Corinthians 5:17).
I am comforted to know that I’m not left to my own devices, but that I have someone who is forming in me a new and different character that pleases Him.
Third, Christmas really means that death is not the end. Jesus came for the purpose of giving us life that is free, eternal, and abundant. In the Bible eternal life means God’s life placed within you. Eternal life is something you have at the moment you open your life to Christ in faith and something you have for all eternity.
Christmas really means all this and so much more.
I thank God that He sent His Son to save me and to save all who trust in Him
