Christmas Fears

Do you have any fears at Christmas?

I don’t mean whether or not you don’t get someone the right present or you forgot to send someone a Christmas card.

I mean more serious fears.  Fears similar to the ones I have.  Here are some of the things I fear.

I fear that when I see a sign that says, “Happy Birthday, Jesus!!!” that even Christians are missing the “reason for the season.”

I fear that we have lost focus and made Christmas a big party.

I fear that we don’t remember that Christmas was a rescue mission.

I fear that we focus on the baby instead of the God-man.

I fear that we don’t remember that the Word became flesh.

I fear that we don’t remember that Christ gave up all of His rights to make us right.

I fear that we don’t look at our Christmas trees and see them pointing up to Christ.

I fear that we don’t look at our Christmas trees and see another tree.

I fear that as we gather with family that we don’t see that Christ gave us a bigger family.

I fear that as we gather in our homes that we don’t remember that Christ has gone to prepare another for us.

How about you?  What do you fear this Christmas?
