Christmas Thoughts

Today in the comic strip B.C., Johnny Hart defines "Yuletide" as "the tsunami of the Christ." In many ways he is right. As we celebrate Christmas, may these passages encourage us to allow Christ to flood our hearts with His glory and grace:

He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that have young. -- Isaiah 40:11

She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins." -- Matthew 1:21

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. -- John 1:14

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. -- John 3:16-17

I have come into the world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness. -- John 12:46

In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. -- I John 4:9
