WHAT IS CHRISTMAS?

Snippet

The very purpose of Christ’s coming into the world was that he 

might offer up His life as a sacrifice for the sins of men.  He came 

to die.  This is the heart of Christmas.  Billy Graham

Scripture

Then Simeon blessed them, and he said to Mary, the baby’s 

mother, “This child is destined to cause many in Israel to fall, but 

he will be a joy to many others. He has been sent as a sign from 

God, but many will oppose him. As a result, the deepest thoughts 

of many hearts will be revealed. And a sword will pierce your very 

soul.”  Luke 2:34,35 NLT

This is Christmas? Kutless

 Do you find it hard to sleep til' night,

Resting by the Christmas lights?

Could there be something you forgot?

Beyond the bows, and mistletoes,

The tree with presents wrapped below,

There's more to this than you had ever thought?

Have we lost the reason that we celebrate each year?

[Chorus:]

What is Christmas?

If there never was a Savior wrapped in a manger.

What is Christmas without Christ?

Remember how the story goes,

God's gift was wrapped in swaddling clothes,

Beneath the star, one great and holy night.

The shepherds heard the angels sing,

The wise man brought an offering,

Peace on Earth began in Bethlehem

Have we lost the reason that we celebrate each year?

[Chorus:]

What is Christmas?

If there never was a Savior wrapped in a manger.

What is Christmas?

If the angels never sang 'Glory to the new born king?'

What is Christmas without Christ?

There'd be no gloria

In excelsis deo

Gloria

In excelsis deo

What is Christmas?

If there never was a Savior wrapped in a manger.

What is Christmas without Christ?

This is Christmas,

It’s all about the Savior wrapped in a manger.

This is Christmas,

Because of Jesus Christ!

This is Christmas,

Because of Christ!

Because of Christ!

Sentence Prayer

Starting January 1st I will no longer do daily devotions, there are two years worth of daily devotions on my blog http://www.windtales.blogspot.com. I will make the devotion weekly on classic country. I am going to use the time to find an mobile application developer or publisher to make them available to the public.  Pray I find the right outlet for my devotions.
