We’re currently in the Advent season of 2015. Much of the hustle and bustle of this season is driven by the need to give gifts. Many of us are consumed with two fundamental questions:
- “What does ___ want?”
- “What do I want?”
To answer these questions and to prepare for Christmas morning, we run around searching the Internet, ads, and malls. We scratch our heads. We think, “what did I give so and so last year?” “Does she already have one of them?” “He gained some weight this year… should I get a large instead?” “How am I ever going to afford all of this!”
But there is a more important question to address if we’re going to get anything out of this Christmas: “Where is Jesus in all of this?”
And so on 12/4/15 our signboard said:
MAKE CHRIST A PRESENCE
AMONG THE PRESENTS!
Christ is among us! He’s all knowing and present everywhere. He’s among us even as we run around trying to answer all of our concerns about gifts. Christ lives in us through the Holy Spirit and He works among us through His people. God even “engineers our circumstances” to draw us closer to Him. Consider these gifts and promises from the Bible:
Our omniscient and omnipresent God- Father, Holy Spirit, and Son- loves us enough to be with our family as we gather around our Christmas tree.
Is there room for Him in your Christmas morning?
