Christ is Here!

Christ comes this time each year, He slips into this season. His name is in the holiday, though some forget the reason.

This holy baby came to earth, in a most miraculous way. The prophecies from centuries past, fulfilled on Christmas Day.

He lived a pure and sinless life, the people saw God’s face. All they knew before was Law, until they met His Grace.

He healed the sick, He showed the Truth, He taught them to Abide. And then the cruel and sinful world made sure that this man died.

The grave could not contain Him, the man of God arose. He conquered sin and hate and death and then forgave His foes.

He left to take his place above, to make a home for us. He said He’d come to take us there, a promise we can trust.

But He is here, right here and now, His Spirit lives on earth. He gives us Heaven in our souls, a gift of endless worth.

He’s with us in our daily trials, amidst grieving, troubled hearts. He knows our past, and all our sins, and all that’s torn apart.

He’s with us in our triumphs and sees our worldly wealth. He knows how that can seem so small when hit by failing health.

He wants our families to be whole, for love to pave the way. Jesus is a family man, and this is how He prays.

Jesus still does miracles, if we have eyes to see. No matter what our prison is, He comes to set us free.

Yes, Jesus Christ is here this Christmas, He wants to be with you. Do you see His handiwork? Do you believe what He can do?

He’s with you in your shopping, and as you hang your Christmas lights. He’s with you in the Christmas stress, on cold and restless nights.

He says for us to come to Him, and He will give us rest. We need to give Him all our woes so we can then be blessed.

If Christmas Spirit fills your heart, it’s not a man-made thing. It’s only from the very One, of Whom the angels sing.

Jesus came to give you Christmas, and to give you Life anew. That Life can start this very day, if you’ll let Him love you.
