There’s something truly magical about Christmas. The twinkle of Christmas lights, the smell of fresh cookies, the excitement of little ones waiting to see Santa, and the wonder that fills their eyes when they hear those familiar words, “Merry Christmas!” These are the moments that make the season feel like a little bit of magic.

And in the middle of all the lights, traditions, and excitement, we remember the heart of Christmas: the greatest gift was never under the tree. It was a baby in a manger, sent into the world because of God’s great love for us.

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given.”

Isaiah 9:6
