The Birth of Christ

Over 2,000 years ago, the virgin, Mary, gave birth to the savior of the world. As we gather with our families and friends this weekend, may we remember what it is we are celebrating. The only virgin birth; the only life without sin; the only death that brings life. All these prophesies fulfilled, and so many more.

Father, only you could create the perfect plan for salvation. As we celebrate Christmas, may our focus not be on the gifts we get, but on the gift you gave us over 2,000 years ago. I pray that our focus can be on Christ the King and his birth that forever changed the world. Thank you for such a precious gift - the gift that keeps giving, even though we are not worthy. Thank you Lord, for coming to us and showing Who God is and how to have eternal life. Thank you for your perfect love, your wonderful mercy and your precious grace. May the celebration in heaven and on earth bring glory to you on your birthday and always. Your name is precious - Amen.
