Waiting for Christmas can be so hard and not just for children! For adults Christmas comes around quicker every year!
For the last number of weeks, we have been surrounded by lights, decorations, carols, food, gifts and presents.These are all very important parts of our festivities and celebrations.
However, we should not forget that Christmas is a
commemoration of God's coming into the world. He came for all of us - believers and non-believers alike. His birth should bring us hope and triumph which will dispel the sadness from our lives. But after years of celebrating Christmas after Christmas many of us are yet to see that triumph in our lives and our hopes may be giving way to despair. Has the Messiah really come? If He has where is He?
Amidst our celebrations this Christmas, let us pause a while to look around us to recognize that Jesus who was born into the world two thousand years ago. He is among us in every person and in every trial and tribulation we encounter in our lives. Let us take a moment to look around to recognise Him in those who do not have joy and peace in their lives.
Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
