Have a Blessed Christmas!

by | Holidays

Remembering the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ never gets old. For many, many people, this is the first time remembering our Lord’s birth in a very profound and personal way. For those of us who have an alive relationship with Him, we never tire of celebrating this day and rehearsing the details:

Now in those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus, that a census be taken of all the inhabited earth. This was the first census taken while Quirinius was governor of Syria.

And everyone was on his way to register for the census, each to his own city. Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David, in order to register along with Mary, who was engaged to him, and was with child.

While they were there, the days were completed for her to give birth. And she gave birth to her firstborn son; and she wrapped Him in cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. (Luke 2:1–7)

As we celebrate Christmas, let us praise God for the day when Jesus was born into our lives, when each of us became born again:

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead … (1 Peter 1:3).

Have a blessed Christmas Day!
