What do you think of when you think about Christmas? Is it that perfect tree? How about the lights that you spent countless hours hanging from the roof? Maybe you think about family, the people that you rarely get to see gathering together again. Or is it the presents, those gifts sitting round the tree just begging you to unwrap them? Whatever you think of when you think about Christmas is likely a special memory, or a family tradition. However, none of these things are what Christmas is truly about.

The true meaning of Christmas involves a baby. A baby born in a manger. The Son of God giving up His seat by The Father, and coming down to be born as a man. The story of Christmas is a story of love and sacrifice.

Every day leading up to Christmas there will be a new post diving deeper into the Christmas story. I hope you will check them out and be reminded of God’s great love for us this Christmas.
