Many families by now have already decorated their homes for the Christmas holidays. People try to put up their beautiful Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving as tradition calls. They string beautiful lights upon their porch for everyone to gaze upon as they drive by at night. They may even place a manger scene in their front yard to remind others about the real reason we celebrate Christmas, the birth of Jesus Christ!
I thought about the star of Bethlehem and how the wise men followed that star to find baby Jesus. However, by the time they found Him...He was about two years old! They brought gifts to Him of gold, frankincense, and myrhh. They understood that this child was the Savior of the world.
This Christmas Season, I thought about things differently. Jesus Himself was light. He wasn't a light that we just place in our homes the day after Thanksgiving and then remove once Christmas was over. He was a light that we should carry with us at all times. People didn't have to follow a star anymore in order to find Him. He now could live in the hearts of all that would believe in His name. His peace could be with them, not only at Christmas time, but all year through!
