The hustle and bustle of this season are in full force upon us. I have been to numerous Christmas parties, eaten what seems to be tons of food, shopped, wrapped presents, baked cookies, gone caroling and done many more holiday activities. Yet in it all, I have had the most wonderful sense of the Presence of Jesus in my life. He truly came to be Emmanuel, God with us. There have been moments in the past few weeks when His Presence has so touched my life that tears, happy tears begin to form in my eyes.
It is at this time when I wish each of you a Merry Christmas. Take a moment and look at those words. The word merry implies lightheartedness and joy. May each of you know that this Christmas. May your Christmas season not be filled with stress, but rather with the joy that comes from having Christ in your life. Like the changed Mr. Scrooge, may your heart be "as light as a feather" know that your sins have been taken away. And as you look at the word Christmas, you will notice that it is impossible to exist without Christ. Christmas is Jesus. The reason Christmas exists is because Jesus came to this earth as the ultimate gift of a loving God who desired that we be in relationship with Him. That is the good news which the angels foretold thousands of years ago on a Bethlehem night that still resounds this day...Christ the Savior is born!
