17 Thanks for Jesus
Every year we celebrate Christmas. It
is a time to remember the birth of our Savior.
Unfortunately the message gets lost in a sea of
commercialism and parties.
Christmas is an event that most people look
forward to, often for very unbiblical reasons.
But imagine if Christmas didn't happen every
year. What would the anticipation be like
when it finally came? Now what if it had
never come and everyone had been patiently
waiting for the first Christmas celebration?
Anna had worked in the service of the Lord
for her life and was an old woman at the time of
Jesus' birth. When she saw the long
awaited Messiah, she rejoiced in a way that few
others could or ever would.
Giving thanks for Jesus is so simple that we
often take Him for granted. Occasionally
we must look at Jesus through the eyes of
another to regain the excitement and sense of
thanks that we should have.
Anna is thankful for Jesus and goes around
telling everyone the story of Jesus. We
too should be thankful and should tell others
the story of Jesus. |
