My son and I were having a blast riding in a go-kart together... until we started going downhill. Let's just say that my build had us picking up speed pretty fast. So fast that we caught air. That wasn't in the brochure.
Fortunately, there was a speed governor to slow us down before that next curve! Sometimes we need one of those around Christmas - something to slow things down. Everyone is bustling about with shopping, travel, family plans... the list goes on.
When everything is spinning around us, it can make it hard to remember what this season is all about. Christmas is about Jesus coming to earth in the form of a baby. On a rescue mission. He came to die on a cross for each and every one of us. He took our punishment, but He didn't stay in the grave. He defeated death and gave us our chance at eternal life!
This Christmas, take time to slow down and look at who Jesus really is. A relationship with Him has made all the difference for me, and it can do the same for you. If you'd like to know more, connect with us at 888-NEED-HIM or ChatAboutJesus.com.
