Today is Chrustmas Eve, the day before we have chosen to celebrate the birth of Christ. I have often heard Christians lament that the world has lost the true meaning of Christmas. Shoppers are busy emptying their bank accounts or charging gifts until they have maxed out their credit cards. Christmas parties are filled with Santa Clauses and elves while party goers are oblivious to the baby Jesus.
The first Christmas was exactly like that. The world was not aware of the Messiah's coming. He was shown to a very small group of people, the Shepherds, the Wisemen, Simeon, and Anna in the Temple.
Today do not lament, but rejoice that the Father has revealed His Salvation to you.
