I love Christmas as I am sure everyone reading this does as well. One of my favorite parts of the Christmas season is all of the Christmas bops I get to jam to. Because it is such a staple of our American Christmas, different people from different walks, seasons of life, and beliefs will play Christmas music as they drive to work or as they bake some cookies. Whether they know it or not, when an old hymn comes on, they are hearing/singing the gospel message. Do we ever stop to listen, meditate and reflect on the actual lyrics of some of these songs? They are powerful. 

What a beautiful message that can so easily be forgotten in the nostalgic melodies, sights and sounds of the season. God desired to be one with us. He wanted nothing separating himself from his beloved, not even humanity. That required coming down to earth and becoming human so that He could relate to us on every single level. There is nothing separating us from Him now because He experienced everything we have ever experienced. What kind of God does that? The book of Philippians says this of Jesus. 

Take a moment to think about the humility of that, all for the sake of relationship with me and with you. Wow, thank you Jesus.

O come, let us adore Him this Christmas!
