How can we make Christmas more than a holiday?
As believers in Jesus Christ, we must be careful to not allow ourselves to get swallowed up in the hoopla, allowing this special day to be reduced to nothing more than a holiday: mistletoe, Christmas trees, lights, Santa Claus suits, etc. You see, Christmas is more than a holiday.
----
Gospel recording artist, Hezekiah Walker recorded a song with lyrics by
David Frazier entitled "More Than a Holiday".
More than a holiday,
more than lights that glitter and shine away.
More than a glistening snow,
more than just a mistletoe.
For unto us a child is born,
for unto us a Son is given.
For unto us Emmanuel has come,
a chance for all mankind to be forgiven.
A change in me He's made,
I am saved today,
you see, Christmas to me is more than a holiday.
You see, Christmas to me is more than a holiday.
So, how can we make Christmas more than a holiday?
*Reflect on the Christ who came to be with us. (Matthew 1:23)
*Receive the Christ who wants to be in us. (John 1:13)
Rely on the Christ who is for us. (Romans 8:31)
Have a blessed Christmas experience,
Kevin & Linda
