One of my favorite songs when I was a little girl was a sweet little Christmas song called Happy Birthday, Jesus. It's always been a reminder to me off the preciousness of Christ's birth, the very essence of this celebrative season.
Happy birthday, Jesus!
Happy birthday to the Lord.
Happy birthday, happy birthday,
Happy birthday to the Lord!
Let the earth cry out, "Hallelujah!"
Let the people shout for joy.
Let the starburst light the brightest candle,
And the celebrate the birthday of God's baby boy!
Happy birthday, Jesus!
Happy birthday to the Lord.
Happy birthday, happy birthday,
Happy birthday to the Lord!
It's quite common to receive gifts on our birthday. However, His birth day is a gift to us. Because of His birth the gift of eternal life is yours for the taking by placing your trust exclusively in Him and His finished work on the cross, and that's a gift so great that it could never be matched! Truly, Christmas is this love gift of everlasting life being commemorated.
So as we look forward to a day of festivities, may your focus be on the things with greater than earthly value, and may you never lose sight of the Christ in Christmas.
Happy birthday, Jesus!
