Did you know that God showed us a foretaste of Christmas in Genesis?
The children and I explored the story of Abraham and Isaac. Abraham never actually had to sacrifice his son as a burnt offering, but God did choose to sacrifice His Son..... for us.
How beautiful is His Love for us that He knew we would need help getting to heaven.
That Help is what we celebrate this season.
Every time you see the colors red and green this season think of that Help, Jesus Christ.
Think on His sacrifice, the red blood that He shed for us.
And when you see your green trimmings, think on the new life we can only obtain through belief in Him.
Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world. John 1:29
How blessed we are to be called sons and daughters of the Most High!
This is what Christmas is....acknowledging the arrival of that sacrifice and the pouring out of His love for us.
In His love,
Ms. Heather
