The Birth Was the Beginning
The message of Christmas doesn’t end with the tiny baby wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger. We must remember the reason that baby was born. The full message of Christmas is that eternal God came to earth as a man to save His own creation. That tiny baby in swaddling clothes came for a purpose: He came to die.
Those tiny infant hands that twitched and worked themselves out of their wrappings within a rough wooden feeding trough were the very same carpenter’s hands that later were nailed to a rugged, wooden cross. They were the same hands that, though scarred, carefully folded His own burial wrappings after defeating sin and death so that He might give us eternal life. And they are the same hands that lovingly reach down and pick us up over and over again throughout this often-difficult life.
This Christmas season, when all seems so hurried and harried, don’t get caught up in the busyness and materialism.
Activity: Make something with your hands—a card, a drawing, a craft—and give it to someone as a spontaneous gift.

묵상 소개
아주 고요했던 2000여 년 전 밤에, 천사들은 그들의 양떼를 보살피던 양치기들에게 구세주 탄생의 소식을 알렸습니다. 그리고 그 소식을 들은 후에 그 양치기들은 베들레헴 그 말구유에 있는 아기를 찾아 모든 것을 버리고 떠났습니다. 오랜 시간이 지난 지금도, 그 초대는 여전히 변하지 않았습니다. 찰스 스탠리 박사의 이야기를 들어보셔요. 그가 이 계절, 당신을 구세주에게 가까이 갈 수 있게 도울 것이며 하나님 아버지의 사랑 안에 쉴 수 있도록 권할 것입니다.
