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.

Om den här läsplanen
En stilla natt för 2000 år sedan kom änglar med bud om frälsarens födelse till en grupp herdar som tog hand om sina djur. Efter att de hört nyheterna så lämnade herdarna allt för söka efter ett barn i en krubba i Betlehem. Så här långt efteråt så är inbjudan densamma. Följ med Dr. Charles Stanley när han visar vägen till frälsaren och uppmuntrar dig till att vila i faderns kärlek under den kommande helgen
