Christmas was going to
be different this year. The father
called a family conference and challenged them to be more disciplined in the
management of their time during the busy Christmas season and to curtail excessive
spending on gifts. He talked about
better relations between visiting relatives and a more congenial atmosphere
around their home. He brought his speech
to a crescendo with his final rally cry, “Let’s make this the best Christmas
EVER!” His little second-grade son
countered the big motivational speech by noting, “But Dad, I don’t see how we
could ever improve on the first Christmas.”
We certainly can’t improve on what happened that first Christmas, but we
can improve on how we celebrate it today.
If our greatest need had been information, God
would have sent us an educator. If our
greatest need had been technology, God would have sent us a scientist. If our greatest need had been money, God
would have sent us an economist. If our
greatest need had been pleasure, God would have sent us an entertainer. But our greatest need was forgiveness, so God
sent us a Savior.
✞ Jesus is your greatest need so live your life for Him.
