If Christmas Never Came
“I think of God,
His son not sparing,
Sent Him to die,
I scarce can take it in;
on the cross, my burden,
gladly bearing, He bled and died
to take away my sin!
Then sings my soul
My Savior, God, to Thee
How great thou art,
How great thou art!”
-Lyrics to “How Great Thou Art” written by Carl Gustav Boberg
Can you imagine? If He didn’t come, if He didn’t die, if He wasn’t raised, if He didn’t suffer; can you imagine if God wasn’t so generous with His Son? David Phelps once sang in one of his songs “There’d be no hope for me, that’s just how it would be, if Christmas never came.”
But praise God He did. Because of Him coming to earth, dying, rising, and defeating death, we can have “peace that surpasses all understanding.” (Philippians 4). Praise God we will never have to know what it would be like if Jesus didn’t come and generously give us everything He had.
We serve a God who wants us to have victory in our everyday life. He says, “Today is the day of salvation.” (2 Corinthians 6). The decisions we make and the way we respond to situations is completely under our control. Don’t let the negative of today get you out of whack. Don’t let the devil have the foothold in your life today. Don’t live one day as if Christmas never came.
Christmas did come; God took our suffering and pain, put it on Jesus and in exchange gave us joy, true joy! Believe today and receive the gift of joy God wants to give you. How great Thou truly art God, how great Thou art! Joy abounds in my soul!
