"All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth"
Pastor Tim (12-5-25)
Happy Friday Family And Friends!
I’m sure you have heard, and have probably sung along with, the kid that only wants his two front teeth for Christmas. It’s a funny song that we hear during this time of year. It makes us smile and think about days gone by, when things were much simpler. Well….the kid wanted his two front teeth, what do you want this Christmas? Now the ready answer for the Christian is that we want Peace on Earth. That’s a great answer, but is that really what you want? Let’s be honest with each other! Wow, there’s a marvelous idea, Christians being honest with each other! Are you thinking about Peace For The Whole Earth? Maybe your thoughts of peace aren’t worldwide! You can’t embrace peace for the world, when there’s no peace in your own life! You’re worn out and so is your family! You can’t share peace and love with others, until you have true love and peace living in you!
Christmas, apart from the Savior’s Birth, is just a word! True, Lasting, Inner Peace, doesn’t come from something bought in a department store! It doesn’t come from family get-togethers, holiday foods, trees, lights, or decking the halls. The Peace of Christmas comes from the God Child Jesus, who was born into a sinful world to Save US! Let me repeat that LOUDLY!!! TO SAVE US!!! Jesus, the greatest gift ever given, was born to die for us! The child in the manger, was Peace, Love, and Joy Eternal! You will never have True Peace apart from Jesus! You will never experience the true meaning of Christmas without the Christ Child! His New Birth is our New Birth! He’s the Prince of Peace! He’s the Giver of Peace! This Peace given by God is a Gift! You can’t earn it, you have only to receive it! Hallelujah! So, Dear Friends, what do you want for Christmas? I hope, and pray, that you want Jesus! Jesus is the definition of Christmas! If the Prince of Peace already lives in you, give Him as a Gift to someone who is seeking Peace this season! He’s the Greatest Gift you can ever give!
Pray Big! Expect Big!
Much Love And Blessings To All!
