To The ReaderIn the rush of the holidays, we often miss “the why” of Christmas.The hustle and bustle of gift-buying, party-hopping, and tree-trimming can quickly smother the purpose of celebrating the birth ofour Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. This 25-day devotional, Who isthis Jesus, and Why did He Come?, is meant to give you a designatedtime to slow down, and reflect over the holy-days. Choose to readthese specific scriptures about our King as a personal quiet time, oras a family devotional. Take time to be still, meditate, and savor Hisgoodness; and then... celebrate the wonderful truths of who Jesus is,and what He gives each heart that believes.O Come let us behold Him, Chris Baxter
My times are in Your hands. Psalm 31:15
Dear Lord,
You are the Beginning and the End. As we look into this New Year, may we not waste the blessing of time you have given us to live; but rather, help us to cherish our days and number them each as a gift, stepping ever forward with your love and joy and peace. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
