Don't Miss It!
It’s that time of year again. I drive though my subdivision and see neighbors busily hanging lights and evergreen wreaths. The tree was lit on Monument Circle and radio stations are playing Christmas music. We are surrounded by reminders that Christmas is coming.
It seems odd, doesn’t it, that with all these reminders, too many of us actually miss Christmas. I mean we miss the real reason we celebrate Christmas.
That “real reason” is stated in Luke 2:10 when the angel said to the shepherds, “do not be afraid, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.” Good news! The good news is that Jesus is born and through Him we can be reconciled to God.
Don’t miss the reason for the season. Take some time today to read Luke 2:8-20.
