Merry Christmas

“Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift.” 2 Corinthians 9:15

I’m sure your inbox or mail box or social media thread is brimming with Season’s Greetings or Happy Holidays and even a few Merry Christmases. I don’t intend to add to that clutter this Holy Day.

Just a reminder to myself and you dear one, why we celebrate this birthday with such fanfare. While we can debate the exact date of our Saviors birth (I won’t) and we can examine traditions like Santa or Christmas trees and snow (I won’t).

I simply want to land on His Word that encapsulates this Holy Day – “Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift.” Our salvation purchased through the life of this divine babe, the one and only Son of God. Who grew up and was offered as The Lamb of God on Calvary’s Cross. To satisfy, both the payment needed for our sin debt while also satisfying the immense love of God for ones such as you and I.

I bow in adoration, as I look on my sparkly, icicle covered Christmas tree, in silent amazement at the only gift that truly matters and that all of us need. His Son….

Thank You Father, for Your indescribable gift.
