Christmas From Cover to Cover: 25-Day Advent DevotionalSample

Christmas is about God. It’s the story of God the Father sending His Son to be born as the God-man, Jesus Christ. The salvation of sinners is initiated by God and ultimately accomplished by the sacrifice of God. The people and events that surround Jesus’s birth are not impressive because they are displaying a God who is. Mary and Joseph were scared teenagers, Bethlehem was not a grand town, and Jesus was born in lodging for animals. There is no mistaking: Christmas was accomplished by God and God alone. This Christmas morning, as we read the story of the birth of Jesus, let our response be: “Look what God has done!” Join the angels by declaring, “Glory to God in the highest heaven.” Merry Christmas.

Reflection Question: How can you glorify God this Christmas?
