Day-to-day obligations increase as Christmas nears and people think about the entertaining, shopping, decorating and duties that have come to define a perfect Christmas. Yet the best point remains; deliverance is near! Dawn is about to break! God intercedes in human affairs to provide something life giving, real, lasting. Far from the temporal satisfaction humans get from acquiring goods, God’s incredible love is dwelling among us. We are receiving a gift beyond anything conceived by humanity and marketed on store shelves.
If we truly want a life-giving Christmas, drawing closer to God needs to take priority over any material desire on this year’s wish list.
