Has Christmas lost it’s wonder for you? When you look at the eyes of a child as they gaze upon a brightly decorated tree or the presents under that tree – do you see the amazement? Do you still feel that same awe?
Yesterday, we talked about the wonder of Christmas. I pray that, as adults, we don’t lose that same amazement we see in the eyes of children as we approach this most holy day. We know the story – many of us have heard it all our lives. If we aren’t careful and attentive, this season will pass us by and we will not have paused to truly consider why it still holds wonder and amazement for us today.
The God of the universe decided to break into human existence – divinity and humanity merging – in order to save us from our mistakes, poor choices and sin.
A woman was chosen to give birth to God. Even though she had never been with a man, she gave birth to a baby boy – God’s very son. Not only did God choose to come to earth under these scandalous circumstances, Jesus was born into poverty – a common man. And now, 2000 plus years later, we celebrate that birth.
All of that should cause us to pause – it should cause us to feel amazement. It should remind us that there is so much more going on in this life than we can explain or even see.
Don’t let the wonder and amazement of this season slip by you this year!
Be blessed today!
