Glory to God in the highest heaven, and peace on earth to people he favors! —Luke 2:14
We tend to separate Christmas into categories of secular and Christian, and it’s certainly possible to get too wrapped up in the stuff of Christmas. But no matter how hard anyone tries, they can’t take Christ out of Christmas. It’s all from Him. It’s all through Him. It’s all to Him.
Even the beloved Christmas hymn “Hark! the Herald Angels Sing” invites us to join the choir of Christ’s creation. The angels are still singing the song they sang that first Christmas morning. It’s the song they will sing forever.
Christ will be glorified this Christmas. Your choice, then, is to join this declaration: The King has come. He is coming again!
Don’t let your fear of missing Jesus steal your peace this year. See Him in the star atop your tree, in the lights that twinkle as you drive through your neighborhood, in the cookies delivered by a friend. It’s all for Him. It’s all through Him. It’s all meant to point to Him.
