[For] to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is the Christ. (Luke 2:11 NRSV)

Jesus is our savior and the savior of our world. He came to bring God to each of us, so it is important to use this great season to renew our lives with God through Jesus Christ.

I remember reading in a newspaper article about a father who got so excited about Christmas that he order a tree house for his three children. Unfortunately, the day before Christmas, the company made a mistake and sent the man a build-it-yourself sailboat instead. He immediately called the company to complain. The operator who took his call tried to calm him down.

"Please, sir, we sincerely apologize for our mistake," she said. "But consider yourself lucky: somewhere out there on a lake is a man trying to sail your tree house."

I hope we don't make the mistake of sailing through Christmas without taking time to renew ourselves in Jesus Christ.

As the time old saying goes, "Jesus is the reason for the season." There are no Christmas sign flashing, "No room in the inn," because there is plenty of room in this season for Jesus. The question for us: Is there enough room in us for a savior?

Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank you for coming for me. I do want to make more room for you. Help me do that during this season and all year long. Amen.
