Santa? Maybe not! But there is someone else who is sure to knock on your doors.
I will be a fool if I expect you to be sitting in front of your computers, reading my blog on a festive day. Nevertheless, I couldn't help posting this and so I have tried to keep it real short.
Just watch the video and if you can spare 2 more minutes, read the rest. But watch the video. Period.
Did you just see yourself in the video? Christmas gifts, crafts, family fun, holidays and secret Santa make up the definition of Christmas for most of us. We often forget that the "birthday boy" is never given due importance.
Remember how the inn-keeper declined Mary & Joseph a place on the first Christmas night? Maybe, we are doing the same too. Even on that night, Jesus was denied a place in the guest room.(Luke 2:7). Today, we are denying him a place in our hearts.
On my birthday, I don't give gifts. I receive them. On your birthday, you do the same. Maybe, that's why the first Christmas night was unparalleled. On that silent night when Jesus was born, something unique happened. He gave Himself as a gift on His birthday but some of us have missed the cue.
To never unwrap a priceless gift that you bought me would be dumb. God gave the first Christmas gift to you. Have you accepted Jesus?
Today, again He wants to present Himself to you. Jesus said that He stands at our doors and knocks. If we respond to the call and open the door, He will come and dine with us. (Rev 3:20)
He is waiting with gifts of peace and joy as a mighty God and an everlasting Father. Invite Him to your family dinner this season.
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices, for yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Hearing a knock? Open up and have a memorable Christmas! Feliz Navidad!
