A week ago the question on everyone's lips was, "Are you ready for Christmas?" Or, if addressed to a child, "Are you ready for Santa?"
Now, the Interrogatory du Jour is, "What did you get for Christmas?" I'm glad for whatever gifts you received, and I felt greatly loved by people's kindness to me, but let me suggest another query,
"What did you learn from Christmas?"
Christmas is a powerful statement that we can't make it on our own, down here.  Jesus birth was heralded as "Good News." Among Christ's impressive titles and names are Savior, Immanuel--God with us--and Son of God. He took the form of a man, became a servant, and was obedient to death. He was made in all points like us. His entrance was not the fulfillment of a parent's threat, "Don't make me come down there." but rather the warm embrace of a loving father who comes to us when we are in over our head.
“For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him" (John 3:17 NASB).
It was "while we were still helpless" that Christ stepped in (Romans 5:6) at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.
We didn't send for God. He came.
Now, how will you respond?
It's STTA (Something To Think About).
