Christmasનમૂનો

Christmas is when life gets busy, and everyone's calendar fills up with parties, concerts, family gatherings, and even lots of stress. But in the middle of the craziness that the Christmas season brings, we need to remember why we celebrate: Jesus. God's plan for Jesus' birth changed everything. No longer is God separated from humans. He is with us. A man who wrote to the Israelites, Isaiah, told them that God's plan was for Jesus to be born as a human so he would always be with each of us. It can be so easy to forget, especially during the season's busyness. If we aren't careful, we can feel alone, which isn't true. Even when we don't necessarily feel like he is, God is with us. He is Immanuel.

Challenge: Schedule out 5 minutes every day to commit to reading this plan. Add it to your calendar, and read it every day.

Go Deeper: Invite a friend, family member, or small group to read along with you and see what God wants to teach you this holiday season.
