For the last 20 days we have looked at these amazing words,
Today is the day we have set aside to remember His birth, but by now it is quite possible that His birth has gotten lost in the shuffle. We are so busy giving and receiving gifts that we often forget about the greatest gift ever given to man. I hope somehow we will remember the long journey Jesus took to redeem us and be motivated to take the longest mission trip in the world—the trip across the street. If you can witness to your neighbor or those in your family you can witness to anyone.
Merry Christmas!
“Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
Merry Christmas!
