Born Is The King (It’s Christmas)

Isaiah 9:6  (ESV)

 For to us a child is born,

    to us a son is given;

and the government shall be upon his shoulder,

    and his name shall be called

Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,

    Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Born unto us this day a Savior

Gifted from heaven to a manger

The hope of the world

A light for all mankind

All of the earth rejoice

It’s Christmas time

So lift up your voice and sing out His praise

It’s Christmas

Born is the King, rejoice in the day

It’s Christmas

Make a joyful sound

It’s Christmas

Let His praise resound

It’s Christmas

Goodwill to all the earth

And peace divine

All of the earth rejoice

It’s Christmas time

It’s Christmas time

Everyday of the Christmas season this year, we’ve tried to focus on the amazing things that Jesus has done through his birth and entrance into this world.

What can you do to look toward the light of Christ this Christmas season?

It might be stopping for prayer you might not have otherwise made time for. It might be making a phone call to a friend or relative who would be surprised to hear from you. You might throw together a quick gift for a neighbor who doesn’t know you very well. Or you might ask for forgiveness and look for reconciliation with a relative or visitor you’re spending the day with that needs addressed.

Christmas is special. It’s the day we celebrate Jesus entering our world. Just think of all the things that Jesus has done for you. And pass it on – act like Christ today.

What might you do to be more like the man we celebrate today?

Dear Lord, we pray that this Christmas be unlike any other – that Your light and goodness prevail and be seen in unexpected, never before experienced, ways. We pray that all the people in our lives will be touched by Your compassion, and be drawn to perhaps a little more than before, because of the enormous witness of your light in the world. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
