Christmas Devotionals 2022 #5 "Find Hope in Christ Today!"

 There's a star in the sky!

There's a mother's deep prayer

and a baby's low cry!

And the star rains its fire

while the beautiful sing,

for the manger of Bethlehem

cradles a King!

There's a tumult of joy

o'er the wonderful birth,

for the virgin's sweet boy

is the Lord of the earth.

Ay! the star rains its fire

while the beautiful sing,

for the manger of Bethlehem

Cradles a king! - Josiah Holland

There’s something about the feeling of Christmas that brings hope and joy. Is it the lights, gifts, even the music? Not really. Those things are simply the symptoms of the reality that within the human heart lies eternity-something beyond this earthly veil of sorrow. We were never made to live in brokenness and sorrow. But sins entrance into our world changed what was a perfect reality. Within we know there must be something better. Christmas gives us a glimpse. A solution to the yearning for eternity’s perfection. Hope for a solution to the brokenness we feel. That solution, that hope is none other than the Baby who lies in the manger of Bethlehem, Jesus. Find hope in Him today!
