It’s amazing how much trash our family can generate when they’re opening Christmas presents! And you should see me attacking all those boxes and wrapping paper with my garbage bags. It may be Christmas, but there’s still trash.Unfortunately, that’s how this whole season may be for some people—maybe you. A lot of garbage surfaces this time of the year: the brokenness, the loneliness, the regrets, our own “ghosts of Christmas past.” There’s just something about Christmas that amplifies the joys and the pain.
That’s why I love the Biblical promise that spoke of Christ’s coming that first Christmas: “There will be no more gloom for those who were in distress…for to us a child is born…He will be called…Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:1 , 6). So many of us have found in Jesus the Savior who can heal what’s broken inside of us and what’s broken between us and others. All because He was broken on a cross to pay for everything we’ve done wrong and set us free from it.
This Christmas season you could make the Savior your Savior.
