Believe

It's all over, right? The presents are opened and all the boxes and wrapping paper are piled up near the trash in the garage. The Christmas feast is, well, let's just leave it at that. A little post-Christmas depression might have set in, and maybe you have already put away all your Christmas music and packed up the nativity set. But will we walk away from Christmas with a lukewarm faith and attitude toward Christ. If all we do is find a warm fuzzy from the baby in the nativity, then the event is over. But if we look deeper into the identity of Jesus and respond to the man who is the Word made flesh, then we cannot remain lukewarm. The story of Jesus calls for a response, and we will see that response in the people of Jesus' day.
