Three weeks from today will be Christmas Day and I hope just those words bring a smile to your face and joy to your heart as you reflect on Christmases past in your life story. In our journey to Christmas 2024 we’re dealing with a Christmas Question each day. First was the question “WHY Christmas”? Yesterday was the question “WHAT is Christmas”? Today, here’s the question: “WHO is Christmas Jesus”?
If you and I were to spend today asking THAT question of every person we meet all through this day, what answers do you suppose you’d hear? Most babies are named very near after their moment of birth. In the Jewish world the naming of a baby boy is a very special occasion and occurs at the time of his circumcision on the 8th day after his birth.
