Circle of Trust
It’s amazing that as a society we go from gratitude in November to wanting more, more, more in December.
Going to see Christmas lights on the weekend we got to see the “Believe” house. Full of lights, blowups and a big & bright BELIEVE sign.
Most people celebrate Christmas regardless of their beliefs. Mostly, the focus is having quality time with family, giving gifts and enjoying good food. For Christians is a lot more than that. The good news of God becoming flesh to save us from our sin is as good as it gets for a reason to celebrate. I believe this is true, not because is convenient, or because it makes me feel good, but because I believe it’s objectively true. Whatever you believe, I hope it’s based on truth.
The truth that we all fall short of God’s standards and that we constantly commit moral crimes against Him might not be fun to admit but if it’s true we are in big trouble. The fact that Jesus is not just a man but God on flesh makes Him the solution to our problem and the reason to celebrate this Christmas.
Merry Christmas!
