Waiting For Christmas

It’s so exciting watching my kids get all anxious about Christmas morning. They beg me to get out and bed and let them rip open their presents. I love the look on their faces as they see that new toy.

Let’s face it, we all get pretty excited about Christmas. We even at times drive ourselves crazy looking for that perfect gift or trying to figure out what our loved ones might be getting for us. What are you waiting for this Christmas?

Israel waited along time for that first Christmas when their Savior, the Messiah, would come and rescue them from foreign rule, not to mention their sin.

Lucky for us, we don’t have to wait for that. We don’t have to wait and be lonely, empty and lost.

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. (Mt 1:21).

You don’t have to wait anymore. Receive His gift.
