Christmas Eve: December 24, 2014 TODAY’S WORD FOR WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 24, 2014. CHRISTMAS EVE We encourage you today to start preparing for tomorrow. It is our prayer for you that CHRISTMAS 2014 will be one of the most Christ honoring and special days of your life. Tonight we will be celebrating Christmas Eve with our family. We will take the time to read Luke 2:1-14 which is the Christmas story as recorded by Luke. We urge you to join us and take the time to read to your family the Christmas story from Luke 2:1-14. For your convenience we are sharing it with you here. “In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria. And everyone went to his own town to register. So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her first-born, a son. She wrapped Him in cloths and placed Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks by night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.’ Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST, AND ON EARTH PEACE TO MEN ON WHOM HIS FAVOR RESTS.” The story goes on with the shepherds going to find Mary, Joseph and the baby. (Luke 2: 15-20) After you have read this account to your family this Christmas then take time to pray together, thanking God for sending His Son to pay the penalty for your sins. Each Christmas eve our grandchildren put on a Christmas play depicting that day when Jesus was born in a manger. This always is one of the highlights for all of us who are there. Make today and tomorrow a real celebration as you celebrate the birth of Jesus. Have a blessed Christmas and remember that JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON!
