Summary: For many believers in Jesus Christ, the miracle of Christmas has started to seem a little less miraculous. They’ve heard the Christmas story so many times that it no longer seems exciting, or unusual. They’ve been celebrating Christmas for as long as they can remember, so they lose the wonder. Just think through what really happened 2000 years ago. God really did become a man. He really was born of a virgin. And He did it because He loved us. That is incredible! I never tire of hearing the Christmas story. I never want to lose my excitement. St. Paul wrote in Philippians, “Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God did not consider equality with God something to be grasped but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness, and being found in appearance as a man, He humbled himself and became obedient to death—even death on a cross!” If you’ve lost your joy, remind yourself of the true meaning of Christmas-remind yourself of all that Christ has done for us- and the absolute miracle that took place that first Christmas. And your wonder and devotion to the Savior will shine through this holiday season. Share with someone in your world what Christmas truly means to you- and watch how God will work! Merry Christmas!
