Christmas Blessing
Celebrate the Christ Mass this holiday season
It’s not a birthday celebration, but a celebration of One birthed
It’s not the day we mark, but the event which changed everything
Even during the Christ Mass, the Eucharist is still the primary focus
Without the birth of Christ, the Eucharist would be meaningless
But without the Eucharist, the birth would be of none effect
With both we are changed – the birth and the Eucharist (celebration of the sacrifice of Messiah)
So, sing the songs of the season, the most prophesied event in scripture
Give gifts to remind yourself that the ultimate gift was given
Rejoice, because you have reason to be joyful
Embrace those you love, because we only have them for a moment
Make memories to last a lifetime
Remember the blessings you have experienced
And never forget the Eucharist, the reason for the birth
The songs have said this very thing
A sacrificial lamb, born in a manger
Born that man no more may die
Born to give you a chance at second-birth
Born in the shadow of a cross
Born to die so we could live
Messiah, Emmanuel, Christ, Jesus, Son of God, Propitiation for our sin
