Luke 2:1-20: ”Today!”

Here is the movement of the Christmas story: glory forsaken (Jesus), glory liberated (our self-glory), glory restored (our living for the glory of God). The Son of Glory came to fight our glory battle so that we would be freed from our bondage to any other glory but the glory of God. May your celebration today be bigger and deeper than awesome Christmas decorations, wonderful Christmas food, and cool Christmas gifts. May you glory in the real glory of this season. May you celebrate your glory liberation while you recognize your need for further freedom, and may you remember your Savior. His humiliation is your liberation.
