On this Christmas morning, what's your response to the baby in the manger? Do you worship at his feet or come to him with a list of expectations?
It's finally Christmas morning. I'm Lina Abujamra, and this is today's single Christian. Did it feel like forever? The waiting until today. Were your expectations built up and your hopes inflated? I wonder how many looked at Jesus in the manger and thought that he wasn't quite what they expected the Messiah to be? I wonder how many nursed a touch of disappointment as they saw the helpless babe in a manger. Yet this baby in the manger was God become man. The long awaited Savior. I wonder how often we miss the presence of our Savior as we build our hopes on our own preconceived expectations. Today is a day to let go of expectations and hang on to the baby in the manger. The wise men saw him for who he was. The shepherds heard the singing and recognized the king. And Mary worshiped God as she held baby Jesus in her arms. What's your reaction to Jesus today? Do you worship at his feet or demand some great feat? It might be time to adjust your expectations. For more, visit today's single Christian com.
