Christmas: Great Expectations - Part 2

Merry Christmas!

As Christmas Day approaches this year, I can't help wondering what my four-year-old granddaughter's expectations are today and what she will remember about this Christmas as she grows up and becomes an adult. Her expectations are, in all probability, that Santa will leave wonderful gifts for her and her family under their gorgeous Christmas tree.

It would be difficult for her to grasp the theological implication and facts portrayed in the story of Jesus' birth found in chapter 2 of Luke's Gospel. Nevertheless she will hear that story and perhaps be astonished that God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son so all people of the earth could be saved. May God bless you today.
