Advent Devotional, December 25

Titus 2:11-14
 
"For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all."
                                                                             (Titus 2:11)
 
Paul's words are simple, but powerful.  God has appeared before us as an act of grace.  God has come among us, not because we deserved such a gift, but because God has chosen to redeem.  This is a simple, but profound message.  
 
Amidst the tattered wrapping paper, as friends and family gather around you, or if you are pondering quietly by yourself the meaning of this day, hold fast to this truth...the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to us all."
 
May you know the treasure of this day in the gracious gift of God, given for all.
 
Joy to the world! The Lord has come!
 
Prayer: Almighty and Eternal God, for the gift of grace, the Christ of Christmas, we humbly give thanks. Amen.
