My wrongdoings are stacked higher than my head; they are a weight that’s way too heavy for me. ~ Psalm 38:4 (CEB)
The angel said to Joseph: Then after Mary's baby is born, name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” ~ Matthew 1:21 (CEV)
KEY IDEA:
Since we can't make things right, God sent Jesus into the world to do it for us.PRAYER:
Thank you, God, for sending Jesus into the world to relieve us of the heavy load we are carrying. I don't properly acknowledge how big of a Christmas gift that is. I am easily distracted by lesser things -- the lights, the holiday shopping lists, all the parties and Christmas events... Help me to keep the focus on Jesus. Thank you for your generosity. I'm going to mention the birth of Jesus to at least one person today. Amen.
