Prepare Him RoomSample

Christmas Day

Merry Christmas!

“The event of Christ is the only event in human history that promises relocation and centering, meaning and purpose. This promise and its fulfillment evoke passionate and heartfelt praise and thanks, especially for those aware of their own brokenness and the healing which Christ brings into their lives.” – Robert Webber

This Advent season has provided the opportunity to pause and meditate on the coming of Christ, to prepare Him room. Our Savior’s birth has brought hope, love, joy, and peace to this broken world. Christ has come in the flesh as Emmanuel, God with us. God has fulfilled His promises through Christ in order to make a new covenant with man.

Today, we rejoice in the birth of Jesus, our Savior, but we also long for His coming again. We continue to prepare Him room each and every day as we rejoice and serve Him while longing for His return. Jesus, our King, will return one day to wipe away every tear and every pain. (Revelation 21:4)

Because of the life of Jesus, we will forever live in the light of His Eternal Kingdom. (1 Thessalonians 4:14-18)

“It is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.” (Lamentations 3:26)

Let’s Rejoice!

Reflection:

Thank You, Christ, for taking on flesh and for being born in a manger. I celebrate Your Incarnation and I long for Your Return. May my celebration and joy continue for the remainder of this year and may it grow stronger and deeper in the next. Amen.
