Christmas is a lot like life. It’s full of contradictions and no little confusion. It’s filled with both the good and the bad, with all of the generosity and all of the greed that is so characteristic of our fallen race. And as unlikely as it may seem, Jesus immersed Himself in our mess – He became one of us – in order to save us from our selfish selves. Now that’s the true meaning of Christmas!
“…and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”
— Matthew 1:21
Lord Jesus, help me not to be distracted by the commercial glitz of Christmas, not to crowd You out. Help me to make room for You in my heart and in my life, this day and everyday. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.
