The Gift!
Luke roots the birth of Jesus in history, when he tells us exactly when it happened, ‘And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed. 2 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) 3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. 4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)’ Luke 2:1-4. So while we don’t have any church Christmas Tree, or candles or any of the worldly trappings of the season - and, as you probably already know, we certainly don’t have a Santa - we do have something really important to celebrate, - the fact with when Jesus came into this world he came to bring us LIFE!
Please give me just 15 minutes of your time on this busy, happy family day - to remember that THE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE!
Happy Christmas from The Semper Reformata Podcast!
