This week we celebrate Christmas, that day Jesus left the glorious throne room of God to arrive in a barn. He did that for you. He did that for me. That barn did not look like this one. But I would guess it was humble looking. Why would the Son take such a step down? He did it to make a way for us to God, to pay the price of our sin. This is where our focus should be this week. This is our source of joy regardless of the circumstances we are facing in our lives. “And the angel said to them, ‘Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord'” (Luke 2:10-11; ESV).
