Noel


Matthew 11:28 (ESV)
Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Love incarnate, love divine
Star and angels gave the sign
Bow to babe on bended knee
The Savior of humanity
Unto us a Child is born
He shall reign forevermore
Noel, Noel
Come and see what God has done
Noel, Noel
The story of amazing love!
The light of the world, given for us
Noel
Son of God and Son of man
There before the world began
Born to suffer, born to save
Born to raise us from the grave
Christ the everlasting Lord
He shall reign forevermore
Noel, Noel

Come and see what God has done
Noel, Noel
The story of amazing love!
The light of the world, given for us
Noel
Noel, Noel
Come and see what God has done
Noel, Noel
The story of amazing love!
The light of the world, given for us
Noel, Noel



Come and see what God has done

In so many of our beloved Christmas songs we find a call to action that asks us to “come.” Have you ever noticed that?

It’s because in order to follow God, we must come to him. Of course, He is always there, but we must respond, must come. There is an action required on our part in order to be a witness to the miracle of who God is.

The coming is not a one-time action, nor is it a compartmentalized function of our lives. In order for us – for you – to fully grasp the magnitude of God and his amazing love, it needs to be fully infiltrated into every part of your life. This is not just for Sundays or designated times of Bible study or prayer, but you must come to God at all moments of your day.

While you are driving, working, running errands, playing, resting, etc… you must come to God.

Why?

Because it is worth everything. A life fully infused with God is one that most never breach. It’s a life with immense purpose and love. It is living your life to the fullest as you seek God in every moment.

Is it hard? You bet.

But anything worthwhile is hard. Your natural instincts will fight you, but if you stay disciplined, and through God’s help you will get better and better at coming to him.

This is what Christmas is all about, and it’s not just for this season, but all the days of your life.


Dear Lord, help us to come to You. Help us to seek You in every moment of our day. We need You Lord, more than air, more than food, more than sleep, for You are our life support. As we are excited to be in the Christmas season, we pray that this same feeling carries us far into the new year. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
