Because of God's tender mercy;
the morning light from heaven is about to break upon us,
to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,
and to guide us to the path of peace.
Luke 1:78-79
Get ready! Jesus is coming! I love this picture as I think on the fast approaching Christmas season. Jesus is our bright morning star (Revelations 22:16). His morning light is about to break upon us! He is the perfect gift for us. God did not hold anything back when he sent His only son to earth to give light to those who sit in darkness, and to guide us to the path of peace. Because of God's tender mercy He loved us when we were sinners. He didn't withold His son because we were mean or disobeying Him. No, God gave us all He had that first Christmas morning when Jesus was born of the virgin Mary, to bring peace to the world. Our gift was a good one and with Jesus comes so many other gifts freely given to us. Every day we are offered this bright morning light! Christmas serves as a reminder of our gifts in Jesus Christ. It is a day to celebrate our peace and the light that shines brightly to lead our way. Take away all the other man made symbols of Christmas and first remember the real reason for the season.
Father God thank you for loving me before I knew you. Thank you for sending Jesus as my perfect Christmas gift to save me from darkness and to bring peace to my world. You are an awesome God with a love I can never fully grasp. Help me to prepare for this Christmas in a way that honors you and glorifies Jesus. Thank you for the beautiful words found in the bible! They bring me hope and peace and paint an amazing picture of your perfect love. Thank you for Christmas Amen
