Where Is Christmas…Really?
Matthew 2:1-2 (NLT) Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the reign of King Herod. About that time, some wise men from eastern lands arrived in Jerusalem, asking, “Where is the newborn king of the Jews? …”

Do you know of anyone who is looking for Christmas – the real Christmas that stays with us every day of the year? Like the three wise men who journeyed a distance to find and worship the newborn King Jesus – you may have also done some traveling and have yet to find the Christmas that doesn’t come and go with the flip of a calendar page. Well, here is the Good News! Anyone who seeks Christmas can discover that Christmas is always with us from the very moment we invite Jesus to live within our hearts. At least that’s when my search for Christmas came to an end, and that is when everyone who’s searching will know for themselves that Christmas lives within them where it can never be lost or taken away. Where is Christmas? Christmas is where we love God and God’s people the most… deep within our hearts…really!
