Here we are.
Christmas.
Lots of waiting for today, and now the hope is realized.
Little kids finally get to open those presents.
Busy workers finally get a day off.
Family members finally get to see each other.
Eat together.
Laugh together.
And each one of these “finallys” is an echo of that first Christmas day.
Estranged and lonely, we find we are – He is – family.
Exhausted and cynical, we find rest in Him.
The Great I Am takes our past, offers us a future, but most of all gives Himself to us as the ultimate present.
Jesus.
We are changed by Your arrival.
We receive You once again.
We need You this day,
this season,
always.
Come.
Transform the Globe
