Come Thou Long Expected Jesus

Galatians 4:4-7

Christmas takes forever to come when you are a child. It may not have taken forever for that first Christmas to come, but it did take thousands of years. And still Israel’s strength Who is the Hope of all the earth came at the perfect time because God’s timing is always perfect, even in our own lives. As He reigns in us, we can trust His working and His timing. As He raises us to His glorious throne this Christmas season, we can trust His goodness and His grace.

How will you take comfort in these thoughts this Christmas?


For Deeper Thought…

Isaiah 61:1-3

These verses embody Christ’s purpose in coming to earth. How do you see Jesus’ purpose foreshadowed in the Christmas narrative?

(I have not included the lyrics of any of these Christmas hymns because of copyright issues, but they are certainly worth reading and singing and are readily available online or in your hymnal...if you can find one :).
