I hope that you and your family have had a Christ-centered Christmas, and that each one of us will continue to keep our heart and eyes fixed on Him throughout the year!
X is for XMAS.
Sometimes we see the word “Christmas” shortened to “Xmas.” This is because the “X” comes from the Greek letter “Chi” which is the first letter of the Greek word that is translated as “Christ.” In other words, this is just an abbreviation of a bigger word. As long as we remember that the “X” stands for “Christ,” and that He is the reason we celebrate Christmas, there’s nothing wrong with the abbreviation!
Y is for YULETIDE.
Yuletide is another word for the Christmas season. This whole season has been about preparing our hearts to think about and celebrate the birth of Jesus. Let’s stop and ask God to continue to prepare our hearts and help us understand the significance of Jesus’ birth, and let’s ask Him to help us long to be near Jesus, just like the Wise Men. The Bible say, “You will seek Me, and you will find Me when you seek me with your whole heart.”
Z is the END of the alphabet!
In the Greek alphabet, the first letter is “alpha” and the last letter is “omega.”
In the book of Revelation, it says:
"I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is, and who was, and who is to come,the Almighty." (Rev 1:8)
Jesus is the beginning AND the end, so as we end this Christmas season, let’s let the last letter remind us of this name of Jesus, and let’s remember Him, not just at Christmas time, but every single day!
