Making Christmas about Christ

Today forget all your worries of the world. Clear your mind and think of your Savior Jesus Christ. Imagine Him; think of Him as your older brother with the best expression of love for each one of you. Someone that accepts you with all your defects and appreciates all your qualities. Think of His power and glory, and all that He created and all He’s given you. Imagine that He smiles to you. Think of the life you have, in the marvelous world you are in with the flowers, trees, the sun, the moon, and the stars, and all that He has offered you. Think of your family, your friends, your parents, your brothers, your sisters, your children, your husband, your wife.

Think of the great example that Jesus Christ left you. Think of His sacrifice and His wonderful life that He voluntarily offered to give for you. Think of the suffering that He suffered in the Garden of Gethsemane, in which He only felt, in his anguish, in his sadness, of everything He did so that you wouldn’t have to pay the price of your sins. Think of the desire that Christ has that you return home with our Heavenly Father and with Him.

Imagine the great Prince of Peace, humbled, wearing a crown of thorns, badly treated, and not appreciated. Imagine seeing Him carry that heavy wood, when He felt the nails enter into his hands and feet. Try to see His face, the tears He quietly shed. Think of all the suffering He took upon himself.

Now, try to imagine in the distance, you see the sacrificed body of the Savior. Imagine little by little you get closer to Him and the sadness overwhelms you for the suffering He went through. Think of Him agonizing. You and He are alone, you look at Him and He looks at you. Now He sees you and smiles and whispers, “I did everything for you and I want you to never forget how much I love you.” You observe the Savior. What would you be able to tell him? Is there any other way to reach eternal life than with out Jesus Christ?
