Sure there’s a lot of hype to Christmas, understandably, it
becomes a burden to countless persons and many will be glad when it’s
concluded. For numerous people, the celebration of Christmas is filled with apprehension
and anxiety, Billy Graham once said. “...it shouldn’t be this way.
Christmas should be a time of joy and thankfulness, for it celebrates the
greatest event in human history: the coming of Jesus Christ into the world. On
that night over 2,000 years ago, God stepped down from heaven’s glory and took
upon Himself our humanity, so we could come to know Him.”
Ponder this for a few moments: Christmas celebrates the God
of the universe who came down to our level in the form of Jesus Christ so we
can know Him in a deep, personal way. That’s why, when Jesus was born, angels
praised God, saying, “Glory to God in the highest!” (Luke 2:14). How
can we not find joy in such a selfless act of love toward us? Don’t let this
season slip by without making a concerted effort to keep Christ at the heart of
Christmas.
