Gloria in excelsis Deo!
“For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.” And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,
“Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!”
Luke 2:11-14 (ESV)
The First Advent
“It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas” but there is no snow, or frost or Frosty…just lanterns and flickering lights
It does feel like Christmas, oh, the nippy air early in the morning, the longer nights
It also tastes like Christmas, ham, chestnuts, roasted suckling pig, and the candy cane
It also sounds like Christmas, “Jingle Bells” and other carols like “White Christmas” and my favorite “All I want for Christmas”
And finally, the hustle and bustle of Christmas, crowded malls, heavy traffic, parties and last minute shopping (thanks to Amazon, and the internet, we can shop conveniently at home and splurge some more)
Amidst all these where is the Christ of Christmas?
And the “happy holidays” greetings instead of a “Blessed Christmas”
Remember the birth of the lowly child, who is truly the King, the Messiah, our Great God and Savior. Let us worship Him and bow down before Him in this blessed day.
