12/25/15- Jesus- The Main Character of Christmas

12/25- Christmas Day- John 1:1,14- Jesus
1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  14The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

Thoughts: God’s love was in the beginning.  God’s love came down to earth.  God’s love was clearly seen in the person of Jesus and millions testify to this today.  From generation to generation it has been testified that God has come.  Let us not forget that God cares enough to speak a word- and to speak The Word.  Even in the midst of the problems and difficulties and terrors of life- God still speaks.  Jesus is a visible sign of God’s love.  So in the midst of the difficulties of this day- the grief, the sorrow, the relative rubbing elbows and opinions against relative, let us remember that the God of love has come.  Let us show His love despite the difficulties to those around us. 

Prayer: Lord, your coming inspires me to love and to care even in difficult times.  May my witness be enhanced with all that is going on around me. 

Activity: this week- while school is out- go where you wouldn’t normally go.  Jesus left heaven to come to earth for us.  The incarnation means God became flesh for us.


Song: Away in a manger no crib for a bed,  the little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head.  The stars in the sky look down where he lay- the little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay!
