I was asked that tonight. There really are so many “bests” this time of year. But tonight I will write about just one—maybe tomorrow we’ll do another.
The best thing about Christmas is the reason for the celebration in the first place. The story of Christmas—the angel coming to Mary, Jesus’ birth in stable, starry nights, angels, shepherds on the hillside… The whole story is perfectly orchestrated and timed. Jesus came at the “right” time, grew up and accomplished exactly what He came here to earth to do…to serve and to give His life as a ransom. Our Christmas musical this year has the song entitled, “We are the Reason” in it. Think about it. The Christmas season is a celebration of the birth of Jesus, and the reason He came in the first place was for you and me.
So tonight…the best thing about Christmas is knowing that I am truly loved. God’s love is unshakable, unchanging, and always secure. It is this love that allows me to truly love others—without a need for reciprocity. I hope you know that love too.
