The right perspective can protect us from Christmas busyness and commercialism…
Where Did Christmas Begin?
Historians say
That Christmas began in Bethlehem.
It didn’t.
Christmas began in the mind and heart of God.
The Creator longed for a way
To demonstrate His Father-love
For a hurting, sinful world.
He wrapped up his message
Of boundless love
In the tiny form of an infant.
He spoke volumes
In a small, speechless baby.
God’s living Word – Jesus Christ –
Became for a time
A wordless newborn:
The Heavenly Father’s radical love
Translated into earthly eloquence.
History is His story, after all.
