As I sit here drinking coffee and the smells of Christmas dinner begin to fill my house, I am hearing a favorite Christmas song (Real by Nichole Nordeman) echo through my head. And as I recall the words I begin to think of how Jesus left a perfect, glorious Heaven to come to Earth and be born in the middle of muck, dirt, and stink of a barn likely filled with animals. The King of Kings, the Prince of Peace leaving His place at the right hand of God to come to a place that would ignore Him at best and crucify Him at worse. And all so that someone like me, with all my glaring imperfections and unworthiness in every imaginable way possible would no longer be separated from God, would have an advocate before the Father, and would spend eternity in that unimaginable glorious place of perfection called Heaven!!! I am so guilty of getting wrapped up in the hype and commercialism of Christmas but this morning I am reminded that Christs birth is REAL and that if I am not careful I get too busy to let it be REAL in my heart on this day that marks the beginning of Christs earthly journey to a beating that covers my healing, death that covers my sins, resurrection that conquered death, and an ascension into a Heaven that is being prepared for me even as I type these words. Do you know my Jesus this Christmas Day?? I mean REALLY know him??? https://youtube/watch?v=aLQgnYxxMcM
