What are our "hopes" for CHRISTmas? If we prioritize our plans to what is most important to us, like relaxation, family time, great memories and not blowing the budget simply to make others happy for a moment or two, then our "hopes" may be fulfilled in what is worth remembering in years to come!
What do we want to remember; the ring, the toys, the decorations, the trip, or the time spent with family and friends centered around the love of Christ . . . our real "Hope". If we hunger badly enough for Him, then we will meet that hunger!
Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.”(Luke 2:8-12)
Hope fulfilled. Anticipation met. A Savior has been born . . . He has been crucified and buried . . . Yet He rose from the dead to PRESENT each of us with an opportunity to have an eternal relationship with Him. This is HOPE . . . . This is CHRISTmas! May we HUNGER and ANTICIPATE Him this season!!!
