I love the Christmas season, but this time of year is packed with many events; Christmas shows, parties, church events. All of the activities are wonderful, but sometimes we get so caught up in the busy schedule that the true meaning of Christmas gets overshadowed. I love this image captured by Ray White because it reminds me of the hope and promises of a new day.

Today is Spiritual Sunday. As the sun rises this morning, let’s refocus our attention on the birth of Christ and what His birth means for you and I as Christians.

“And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭5:11-12‬ ‭NIV‬‬

As you worship today, praise God for the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Thank God for eternal life and spend time today refocusing on what the Christmas season means for you and I. As you leave worship, carry with you a renewed focus on your Savior so that when the days ahead are busy, you can remind yourself of what we are truly celebrating: life everlasting!
