We are only a couple of days away from Christmas. In some of my reading this morning, I reflected on the holiness of the season. We celebrate, at this time of year, the birth of a holy and pure baby, just over 2000 years ago. None had ever been born like him and no baby since can compare. He was completely different – because he was God in flesh.
People came from all around to see this miracle. Shepherds were visited by angels who gave them the news that the savior of the world had been born and so they came to see. Religious men from Persia followed a star for days to see this child. Not only did they travel a great distance, they brought gifts with which to honor him.
As we move through the final days of getting ready for Christmas – as make sure we have purchased all those last minute gifts and made all the last minute arrangements, take a minute today to slow down and think about your gift for the King.
We think about God’s gift of Jesus to us at this time of year, but how often do we think about what we can give back to a holy child?
What gift will you bring for the King this year?
