A Heartfelt Celebration – December 26, 2025
As Mary cradled her newborn son, her heart was full, overwhelmed with the realization that she held the Son of God. Will you – like Mary, like Joseph, like the shepherds – take time today, tonight, tomorrow, to marvel at what God has done? Jesus has been born. He is here. Come to the manger and worship.
Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.” When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.” So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. – Luke 2:13-16
Prayer: Lord God, we bow before the manger in awe and wonder. We worship at the birth of Jesus, Your Son, in whose name we pray, Amen.
