It's Christmas time – a time for warm apple cider, mince pie, decorating the tree, hanging lights, planning menus, dressing up for parties...'tis the season. As I was driving home from an afternoon of making homemade caramel sauce with my mom, I saw a simply lit cross on a hillside reminding me of what Christmas is all about. It's so easy to get wrapped up in all the tinsel and shiny presents, humming away Christmas carols but overlooking the underlying lyrics.
Many years ago the most beautiful gift of all arrived- a savior was born bringing hope and the promise of redemption for mankind. The salvation He offers is a timeless present too large to fit under a tree. Jesus is the simplest and best gift available to each of us- we need only to unwrap it.
Happy Christmas to all.
