Over two thousand years ago, Mary and Joseph were assigned a task. The task of introducing baby Jesus to this world.
Imagine. Joseph requests the window seat. He can’t wait to show his baby the view. And for the first time, Baby Jesus looks out at a world, a world He created.
Fellow passengers ooh and aah over cute baby Jesus. And like most new parents, Mary and Joseph beam with pride.
What love this little one must have exuded. What unexplainable joy must have filled every room Jesus entered into.
So, maybe Jesus didn’t travel by plane. But He still traveled. Matthew chapter 2 tells us within the first few years of His life, little Jesus went from Bethlehem to Egypt to Nazareth. And surely, there was oohing and aahing by fellow travelers at the rest stops along the way.
Two thousand years ago, Mary and Joseph introduced baby Jesus to this world. This Christmas, God is asking you and I to do something similar.
To introduce our world to Jesus.
He’s no longer a baby, but He still exudes love and His presence still fills every room (and heart) with unexplainable joy.
This Christmas season, let us ask the Lord for the opportunity to introduce someone in our world to Jesus. May we never forget the ‘reason for the season.’
Joy to the world, our Lord has come!
