Pointing to Christ

I just love this season, don't you? A whole month chock full of festivities with family, friends, at church, and around the community. For our family, all of it centers around the reason for the season, the birth of Christ!

My pastor's wife gave a devotional at our ladies' Christmas brunch earlier this month and she challenged us that in all our celebrating this season, to be always pointing people to Christ! That should be our main focus as we celebrate Christmas. It was a reminder to me and has made me more thoughtful of my purpose as I'm planning and doing this December! The birth of our Savior is great cause for joyous celebration! What a precious gift of salvation we have been given through Jesus' birth, and all we have to do is receive it! Do you believe that our Savior was born in a lowly manger for the purpose of dying in our sinful place in order to give us the most precious gift of all . . . eternal life? There is truly no greater gift! How fitting that we celebrate this holiday for a whole month! Merry Christmas to you all!!
