What Abraham Knew About Christmas

"Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad." -- John 8:56
 That is essentially all Abraham knew about Christmas. He knew that God had promised him that he and his family would be a blessing to the world for all peoples (Genesis 12:3 and Genesis 28:14). But Abraham did not know how this would happen or when this would happen or Who would make this happen. But Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness (Genesis 15:6).
There may be much uncertainty in our Christmas seasons this year, but may we be like Abraham who believed God and rejoiced. This Christmas, may we trust that God is faithful. Believe that He is good. And rejoice that He has demonstrated all this and so much more by sending Jesus Christ, for our present-day rescue and eternal salvation. Praise the Lord.
