Making Room for Jesus

First, bring Christmas back to Jesus when we start the day with prayer. Next, Luke 2:7 (NKJV) reminds us people once left no room for Him. Then, we clear one shelf for a Bible and a simple nativity. Afterward, parents read the birth story aloud before anyone opens gifts. Finally, families thank Jesus for His love and for each other.

Turning Down Holiday Noise

However, stores and phones shout loudly, so we choose quiet moments. Also, Jesus warns that treasure guides hearts in Matthew 6:21 (NKJV). Instead, we set a budget and plan one church service as a family. Therefore, we silence notifications during meals and talk about Jesus’ words. Consequently, we seek God first, just as Matthew 6:33 (NKJV) teaches.

Seeing Mighty God in the Manger

Moreover, the manger holds more than a baby, and it holds our King. Likewise, Isaiah 9:6 (NKJV) calls Him Wonderful Counselor and Mighty God. Specifically, we tell children Jesus rules kindly and defeats sin bravely. Notably, John 1:14 (NKJV) says the Word became flesh and lived among us. Ultimately, we honor Him when we listen closely and sing with focus.

Choosing Worship Over Stuff

Meanwhile, ads push bigger gifts, but we choose better worship. Additionally, the wise men worshiped Jesus in Matthew 2:11 (NKJV). For instance, we give a simple gift and include a note about Jesus’ love. As a result, we practice contentment, as 1 Timothy 6:6 (NKJV) teaches. In fact, we donate toys, serve meals, and show kids that joy beats greed.

Repentance and Forgiveness

Even so, stress can spark anger, so we check our hearts early. Furthermore, Jesus calls us to repent in Matthew 4:17 (NKJV). Conversely, we stop blaming others and ask God to change our choices. Similarly, Matthew 6:14 (NKJV) tells us to forgive, so we start hard talks gently. Above all, we pray together, release old grudges, and invite peace into the room.

Keeping Wonder All Year

Besides, the shepherds praised God after meeting Jesus in Luke 2:20 (NKJV). Subsequently, we retell that story at breakfast, not only on December twenty-fifth. Thereafter, we give cheerfully, as 2 Corinthians 9:7 (NKJV) commands. Accordingly, we set our minds above with Colossians 3:2 (NKJV) during school and work. Eventually, we serve neighbors weekly, so Christmas kindness becomes a steady habit.

Bring Christmas Back To Jesus

To conclude, bring Christmas back to Jesus by trusting Him as Savior and Lord. In summary, Jesus says He alone leads to the Father in John 14:6 (NKJV). Most importantly, we follow Him daily, because the manger points to the cross. At last, we fix our eyes on Jesus, as Hebrews 12:2 (NKJV) urges. Always, we worship, repent, and wonder, and we help others bring Christmas back to Jesus.
