A European said recently that Americans should remember that Christmas is 'a day, not a season.' I beg to differ.
Christmas is not a day or a season, Christmas is the SPIRIT of a PERSON, A WONDROUS, GLORIOUS, GRACIOUS, MATCHLESS, LOVING ETERNAL PERSON who "thought it not robbery to be equal with God, who became a MAN and submitted HIMSELF to death--even the death on a cross."
As we immerse ourselves in the shopping, in the decorating, in the celebrating, let us not forget that we buy gifts because gifts were brought to the Christ Child. Let us not forget that we decorate because the angels adorned the heavens with their praise. Let us not forget that we celebrate the FACT of Emmanuel, "GOD WITH US." Matthew 1:23
And the
PRECIOUS LIFE we celebrate at this season should be extolled in our
minds and in our hearts and in our spirits, not for just a day, not for
merely a season, but for every day of our lives.
Indeed, we shall worship Him for eternity.
"Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made Himself of no reputation, and took upon Him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: and being found in fashion as a man, He humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross." Philippians 2:6-8
