Moment 13: Coming Home for Christmas

For us college students who are staying in hostels who are counting down the days; for military around the world who are away from home defending their country , “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” is probably one Christmas song that goes right to the heart. If you ever want to be home, it’s Christmas.

This longing for home runs deep in the human heart, and ultimately it’s a longing for the person who gave us our life in the first place. Speaking of Jesus, the Bible says we were “created by Him and for Him” (Colossians 1:16 ). Our whole life we’ve been looking for a home where our heart would feel loved and safe. And no relationship, or accomplishment, or religion has ever filled that hole in our heart.

Maybe this Christmas would be your time to finally come home to the One you were made for. Jesus literally died to remove the sin that makes a relationship with God impossible. And now, in this season—His season—He is coming where you are, inviting you to experience His love for yourself.

This Christmas, your heart will finally be home.
