"Where's the Line to See Jesus?"

Take a look at what the angel Gabriel told Mary about Jesus:

"He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end." Luke 1: 32-33

People line up every year to see Santa Claus. Becky Kelley's song "Where's the Line to See Jesus" helped give me some perspective on our Christmas priorities.

Santa Claus can't forgive us of our sins. Santa can't offer us eternal life. Santa's a nice guy, but the gifts he brings lose their luster after a couple of months.

These words the angel Gabriel spoke to Mary illustrate the power that Jesus would have forever. Jesus' gift to us can be rivaled by no other gift. And Jesus' gift won't get old because it is eternal.

You may be thinking, "I already know all of this!" You probably do know all of this already, but do your kids? What about the people you work with? What about your family?
