What do you still need to do to be ready for Christmas? I don’t mean to stress you out, but it’s only a few days away. So I hope you’ve thought about that a bit.

Maybe you need to clean the house or make some lists and make sure that you’ll have everything for Christmas dinner. How about gifts — buying them, of course, and wrapping them? If they’re for people who live at a distance, you’ll now need express delivery if you want to be sure they arrive before the 25^th. And, of course, there are decorations to take care of, and a lot of other things.

But since this is a sermon, you may have realized that I’m not really asking about all of those things. What are you doing — what do you need to do — to be ready to celebrate the birth of Jesus? Or to put it another way, what do you need to do in order to receive God’s Christmas gift to you in the right way? What we need to think about is the meaning of Jesus’ birth for us today. Otherwise, we’re just celebrating a historical event like we do on Washington’s birthday.   Whether it’s making your house ready or making your heart ready, remember what the angel Gabriel said, “For nothing will be impossible with God.”  So ready or not,  please listen-in or watch below!
