Brightly colored ornaments…Sparkling lights adorning almost every building….Beautifully decorated trees….Colorfully wrapped gifts…Delicious candies, cookies and cakes…Parties and celebrations…A jolly chubby guy taking pictures with kids…

Do these words describe Christmas for you? For many people, that is what Christmas is. But the real meaning behind Christmas is so much more. The real meaning is LOVE. A love so amazing, so real, so unconditional that is goes beyond anything we can imagine. A loving God who sent His Son to leave the splendor of heaven to become human and live in our crazy, mixed up world. A Son who gave His life in an unimaginable way to become the Supreme Sacrifice for us, opening a door to Heaven that was locked to us before that time. Take a moment to think of that Savior and post one reason He is worthy of this position. I’ll start: He is Jehovah Shalom, the Lord our Peace (Judges 6:24)
