Advent Devotion: December 16

Luke 1:77
I love the Christmas season, if you’ve read this far that should come as no surprise.  I like the music, buying and wrapping gifts, making cookies, decorating, the festive mood.  The Christmas season brings great joy to a dark and somewhat depressing time of year, especially in Seattle.  Kids I’m sure you love the Christmas season as well it’s so exciting, parents you might be on one side or the other.  But because there are so many activities and traditions to take part in, it’s easy to forget or miss the reason for Christmas, bonus question what is the reason for the season?  It’s the birth of Jesus of course and ultimately the salvation and forgiveness of sins that he gives us.

God is the only one who has the power to forgive sins and the fact that he forgives our sins is amazing!  But we need to remember that Jesus is God and not just a little baby who we celebrate Christmas time.  He is holy God and he deserves our worship and love for who he is and what he has done.
