Moment 18: Christmas In A Four Letter Word

Our kids will all be home this Christmas...whatever it takes. More than any day of the year, Christmas is about being home.

Except for the Son of God. For Him, Christmas meant leaving home. Leaving the grandeur of heaven for a tiny speck called earth. He knew His life among us would begin in a stable and end nailed to a tree He had created.

Jesus left home so you could come home...maybe this Christmas season. Home to God, the One you were made by; the One you've sinned against by running the life He was supposed to run. There are no more important words you'll ever hear than these words from the Bible, 
"God so loved the world" - loved you - "That He gave His one and only Son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16 ).

It's time to come home. You've been away long enough. Your heart's been looking for a long time. It's Christmas...come home.
