Merry CHRISTmas!What does Christmas

mean to you? Does it

bring momentary

happiness that is gone

after opening those gifts,

or true happiness

concerning the best gift

that was ever given?

You do know what that

gift is don’t you? The

best gift ever given?

That is Jesus. He’s the

son of God, yet he came

down to be a man. He

didn’t have to come to

earth in the form of a

precious baby. He could

have come down with

authority and powerstraight from the sky.

But he chose to come

with humility and to

serve, not to be served.

He chose to come for the

purpose of dying for you

and I on the cross. Not

ahead of time if you are unable to
