John 1:13
Children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.


Reflection

Through the coming of Jesus Christ we have been born of God.  We are children of God.  Jesus told Nicodemus in the third chapter of John that if we want eternal life “you must be born again.”  That is what Christmas is about.  The coming of Jesus allows us to be born into the family of God. 

This Christmas we need to understand this: Because of Jesus we are not orphans.  We are not outsiders.  We are loved and embraced in the family of God.  That’s the greatest Christmas gift.

Today spend some time giving thanks for your divine family heritage.
