It’s Christmas Eve. Almost all the presents have been purchased and wrapped. Our retailers are happy. That makes some manufacturers happy. Sales have been pretty good this year in the US.
Are you giving presents just to show off your wealth? Or just because you’re supposed to give a lot so that the kids and others won’t feel deprived? Or is it a reflection of the relationship you have with others?
Jesus entered the world to point the way to a relationship with him and with God. He said to the leaders that they were burdening people with their many laws and interpretations. He said it was very simple, but hard. Just enter into a relationship. Live every moment with God as a companion. Deal with others in the spirit that God would deal with them.
Tonight and tomorrow, we remember and celebrate that Jesus entered the world to change the world’s view of God. Does your view need to change? Are you in a loving relationship with God? I pray this is so. Merry Christmas.
