"Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God. Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father." -Colossians 3:16-17 (NASB)
The stress of preparation leading up to the Christmas holiday can sometimes dampen the spirit of the day. When celebrating Christmas, we should not lose sight of the reason for the day. The day is about the birth of Jesus Christ, our Savior!
Christmas is the time we celebrate the arrival of God as a human, a baby. Jesus grew from that baby into a perfect man. When we are planning and celebrating Christmas, we shouldn't be concerned about the gifts, the food, or other traditions. We should be sure that we are honoring Christ. To honor Christ, we should embrace His Word and allow Him and His teachings to dwell within our hearts. We can sing praises to Him and act out His love in all we do for those around us!
Honor the birth of Jesus Christ, our Savior, by allowing Him and His teaching to dwell in your heart and overflow in praise and acts rooted in His love!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for sending Jesus to die for my sins. Please help my Christmas celebrations to honor Jesus through my words and actions. In His name I pray, amen.
