I must have been eight or nine years old at the time It was a cold walk
with my lather as wc traveled (he fairly short distance to attend the annual
Christmas Eve Candlelight service As wc walked I gazed into the night
sky The city lights dimmed the brightness o f many stars hut others were
clear and bright in the night sky As I looked into the sky and dreamed
o f Christmas day. my eyes fixed upon a light that seemed to he blinking
and moving across the sky The light appeared to be red I was both ex
cited and afraid that it might he Santa and Rudolph I pointed out the obstacle
in the sky and asked my father if it might he Santa His reply led me to
believe that anything was possible on Christmas Eve
What agony the next lew hours were I had to sit through an hour wor
ship service, walk back home and get my self to sleep before Santa would
visit my house And Santa was in the neighborhood that very hour
Just as you have many memories o f Christmas, perhaps both joyous and
sad. this is a Christmas memory that I shall never forget It will he a night
filled with wondrr and surprise in my mind for years to come
Christmas is indeed a time o f surprise The surprise that the expected
Messiah was a poor bahy in a cold stable, surprise that he was of common
heritage, not o f royal family, surprise to the shepherds who heard the angelic
message, surprise that wise men from the east would worship at his side,
surprise that Herod would he so threatened by this child that he would com­
mit mass murder on hahics. surprise that God would visit us in the greatest
gift o f all. the gift o f (kid's love embodied in human form and flesh
Has Christinas become routine ’ Has Christmas lost it's surprise ’ I must
confess, for me Chnstmas often becomes anything but surprising The or
dinary and mundane seems to easily slip into the celebration of ( Tiristmas
And often anything that threatens the ordinary and routine causes great fear
for my rather traditional expectations o f Christmas
Perhaps we can truly cxpcncnce the meaning o f Chnstmas when wc allow
ourselves to be open to (kid's surprise package for us the gift o f love, the
gift o f Christ, the gift o f God with us
My prayer for each o f us this Christmas season is that our Christmas
celebration might he filled with peace, memory and most o f all. (kid's

But after he had considered this, an angel o f the Lord appeared to him
in a dream and said, “ Joseph son o f David, do not be afraid to take Mary
home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit
She will give birth to a son, and you arc to give him the name Jesus, because
he will save his people from their sins.” All this took place to fulfill what
the Lord had said through the prophet: “ The virgin will be with child and
will give hirth to a son. and they will call him Immanuel which means “ God
with us.” Matt 1:20-23.
Chnstmas time is one o f the greatest celebrations on earth, not because
o f receiving or giving gifts, but because a Savior w^s born to save us from
our sins
Wc don't have to look very far to see the effects o f sin in this world
You see. the sin of mankind was and is so horrible that a perfect sacrifice
was needed to pay the price for it once and for all That perfect sacrifice
was Jesus God allowed his Son to he horn o f a virgin and to live like you
and me Jesus died for our sins and rose again from the grave to defeat
death He died so that you and I might live
This was God's gift to ntankind and still is today What will you do with
God's gift to his Son Jesus ’ Will you accept Him or reject Him? Why not
accept (kid's greatest gift o f eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord this
Christmas season?
