Luke 1:67-79
“Praise be to our most precious Lord Jesus Christ, for he has come to redeem his people. ”
Christmas is supposed to be a time when families focus and reflect on the sacrifice made by our Lord Jesus Christ and the promise this holds for our lives. Yet, everyday, all we hear is how Christmas is a time of pressures… money for presents, family pressures, end of year deadlines and anxieties for the coming year. Some people seem to resent the Christmas season. “Why bother celebrating” they say, “… it’s just a day to show how much money you do or don’t have depending on the gifts you feel compelled to give.”
When young, you probably had a Christmas “wishlist” a mile long. But, it seems that as you get older, you wish for less and less. You have an inner peace from the Lord, knowing he meets your wants and needs on a daily basis. God promises that he’ll help you make the right choices in life or “carry” you whenever “you” select another pathway.
As a Christian the Lord takes care of all pressures. Sure, it’s still a lot of work to balance career, family and social obligations, but God promises “blessed are all who take refuge in him.” Christmas is a time to celebrate the warmth of love from family and loved ones; but, most of all, reflect and know that the everlasting Lord Jesus Christ died that we would know Christmas All Year.
“The Lord is faithful to all his promises and loving toward all he has made. The Lord upholds all those who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down.” Psalm 145:13 and 14.
