Christmas is such a great time, and with all the busy-ness it is easy to get distracted from the whole reason we do all this to begin with. Last Friday our church hosted a concert called Behold the Lamb of God with a bunch of artists I'd never knowingly listened to before. They told the story of the coming of Christ, starting with Moses and singing about promises and how they were fulfilled with the coming of Christ.
I have to say that for me, it was one of the most powerful worship services I've ever been a part of, even though it was technically a concert. Interestingly enough (and without offending anyone I hope), I have never left a Christmas program more focused and in awe of Christ and what He did for me. With all the troubles our nation and families are facing, many have had a hard time getting into the "Christmas" spirit. This concert put me in the Christmas spirit for probably the first time this year, all because it reminded me to focus on Jesus, coming down from heaven, becoming human, and making the ultimate sacrifice so that we could be saved.
