Celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ was always emphasized as the true meaning of Christmas during my childhood.

I grew up in a Christian home and in 7th grade, gave my life to the Lord.  Believing that I am saved by grace alone, sets me apart from many world religions.  Knowing that Jesus IS my savior, that He pursued ME is at times beyond comprehensible.

We would put up a tree, exchange beautifully wrapped presents, play Christmas music and many other traditional traditions. (which we still do!) Yet, that was all in addition to, and layered around the Celebration of the Birth of Jesus Christ.

Today, my relationship with Jesus has continued to strengthen and my children too know and love to celebrate Jesus at Christmas. We spend time doing advent devotions, setting up our nativity.

This truth, that GOD came DOWN, for you and for me, is astounding, revealing and remarkable.

The words of this song, sung by Joy Williams, speaks clearly to the significance of Christmas.  I challenge you to read these words carefully and allow them to penetrate your soul.  I've also included a youtube video to hear the recording.

Here With Us:

It's still a mystery to me 
That the hands of God could be so small, 
How tiny fingers reaching in the night 
Were the very hands that measured the sky 

Hallelujah, hallelujah 
Heaven's love reaching down to save the world 
Hallelujah, hallelujah 
Son of God, Servant King, 
You're here with us 
You're here with us 

It's still a mystery to me, oh, 
How His infant eyes have seen the dawn of time 
How His ears have heard an angel's symphony, 
But still Mary had to rock her Savior to sleep 

Hallelujah, hallelujah 
Heaven's love reaching down to save the world 
Hallelujah, hallelujah 
Son of God, Servant King 
Here with us 
You're here with us 
(Ohh, mmm, here with us) 

Jesus the Christ, born in Bethlehem 
A baby born to save, to save the souls of man 

Hallelujah, hallelujah 
Heaven's love reaching down to save the world 
Hallelujah, hallelujah 
Son of God, Servant King 
You're here with us 
You're here with us
