Jesus came so that we would experience life the way God intends us to, in a mighty way! Joy, peace, and love are ours because of Jesus! Without Him, the world is lost. He is light in the darkness. Keeping Jesus at the center of each Christmas season is one way that we experience the wonder of Jesus’ amazing love for us.

The Most Special Gift: A Christmas Devotion 

Yes, Christmas is a great time to enjoy exchanging gifts with family and friends. But, In order to stay focused on what the true meaning of Christmas is, we must guard our hearts and minds, choosing to focus on the birth of Jesus over all of the material things as we celebrate with family and friends this holiday season.

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9: 6-7)

One of the names of God is Emmanuel, which means “God with us.” He’s the ultimate gift. He’s the gift of love, peace, joy, and salvation! With a love that never fails us, Jesus is always there; with us no matter where life takes us. The message of Christmas is a very special one: You are loved.

Let’s make every effort to honor and reverence our Savior as we celebrate this Christmas. Jesus’ birth is the true meaning of Christmas.

Devotion: Kindness and Generosity

God often uses us in the simplest, most unexpected ways in the life of someone else. Our job is to show kindness and generosity to every person we come into contact with each day, even the familiar faces. Putting someone else’s needs before our own is essentially the biblical way to be kind. This is easy to do when we make it a point to completely trust God to take care of our needs. Remember to show kindness to everyone you encounter today!
