CHRISTMAS MEDITATIONS

I.
Luke 2:7 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. (NIV)

We would like to encourage you this Christmas season to seriously consider making room at the Inn, to receive Christ as your personal Lord and savior that you might find eternal life.

II.

Matt 1:21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins." (NIV)

God saw that the sins of the heart within was a greater enemy than the Roman slavery his people outwardly lived under, so he sent His son Jesus, to save those who would believe in him.

III.

MATT 2:9 After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen in the east went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was.
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.

The star was not the light of God but only a lesser light that led the way to him. This reflection helped to illuminate the way for the Magi but was not in itself the fulfillment of their spiritual desire. Like wise, we need not settle for the relections in life that briefly give glimpses of things about the Lord. This Christmas Settle not for the star itself leaving us still in the darkness, but find a relationship with God himself. Wise men are still seeking the true light of the world, still rejoicing in his light that leads to the place of worshipping the king.
