Ephesians 1:18- “I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people.”
It’s that time of year when we think of the Christmas Story.
“BEHOLD” the angels sing.
It means more than just “look at, or observe.”
A deeper meaning is “to look intently at…”
Letting the eyes of our hearts be enlightened and focused on Jesus—who He IS and what He has DONE for us.
Scripture tells us we were made to BEHOLD Him.
The more we come to know Him through scripture, prayer and worship, the more we can truly do that.
As we decorate our tree, BEHOLD HIM.
As we wrap our gifts, BEHOLD HIM.
As we light our candles, BEHOLD HIM.
As we sing our carols, BEHOLD HIM.
As we eat our Christmas dinner, BEHOLD HIM.
As we read the Christmas story, BEHOLD HIM.
As we wash the dishes, box up the decorations for another year of storage, as we dispose of the tree and pack away the box of Christmas C.D.’s… Each and every day all year long,
LET US BEHOLD HIM!
As our King, our Creator, our Savior, our Provider and
OUR GOD.
I
