Luke 2:11
Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.

Christmas trees adorn the windows of the stores
and businesses. Some twinkle with white lights, others don red ribbons. I've
even seen a few pink ones. In the morning, while the dark still covers the day,
tree lights peek from behind curtains. In our home a silver tree lights the
corner with multi-colored lights. And what a fun sight to see a car zipping
along the highway with a fresh cut tree tied to the top.
The evergreen tree has been a symbol of hope since
ancient times; a reminder that spring followed winter. Since the evergreen
doesn't lose its leaves and remains green all winter, it's also a great symbol
of life. Because Jesus Christ died on a wooden cross, sometimes referred to as
a tree, I'm reminded of his sacrifice every time I see a Christmas tree. The
evergreen has life through the winter when other trees stand stark. Jesus
offers life in heaven, where God reigns and life flows abundantly. This
Christmas as I look at the beautifully decorated trees at a time when I
celebrate Jesus birth, I'm reminded of his death and resurrection. Praise God
for his son.
Merry Christmas! May peace and joy fill your days.
