Merry Christmas!

From: Family Advent: Celebrating the Journey Toward Christmas

Scripture reading – Luke 2:1-20

Devotion

When God came to earth it was not with great pomp and circumstance.  He moved the great power of Rome to call a census so that Jesus would be born in Bethlehem, as He had promised.  He came to a poor young Jewish girl who lived in a small village.  God chose for the birthplace of Jesus a barn, or possibly a cave, where animals were kept.  Rather than being greeted by the greatest powers and authorities of the Earth He was greeted by humble shepherds and some wise men from afar.  Jesus’ humble birth shows us something very clearly.  Jesus came for everybody.  Jesus is God’s greatest gift.
