The grace of God appeared in the flesh that first Christmas Day. It appeared to Mary and Joseph swaddled in a manger, to the shepherds who came to seek Him, and to the wise men who sought Him from the east. Now, the grace of God has appeared to us. What is Christmas, if not the Advent of God's coming grace to the world?

The Apostle Paul tells the story of Christmas through the lens of adoption – our adoption! It's a story of how God's enemies could become God's beloved children, and the one man who was uniquely qualified to make it happen. Christmas is about Jesus paving the way back to the Father so we might be reconciled to Him.

Moses has a Christmas story to tell. His final sermon on Mount Sinai to Israel informs them of God's promise that includes a coming prophet. Just like Moses, this leader is going to deliver the people of God once again from slavery, but this time in a way they won't be expecting. God's people waited for the Advent of this new prophet generation after generation. The prophet Moses spoke about arrived on Christmas morning.

God's response to Adam and Eve's sin isn't only judgment – it's Advent! He promises a Savior, who will come and crush the head of the serpent and be the means of reconciliation between God and us. He promises Jesus. He promises Christmas.

A widow who is a single mom is in a desperate situation. Her husband racked up debt before he died that she can't pay. She has two sons to take care of but will be taken from her to pay the debts. She looks around and believes – I have nothing, except a small jar of olive oil. How could that possibly help? God worked with an exception to provide a miracle. What do you have that God could use for His glory and your good?

A poor widow with two very small copper coins arrived to worship God. She was surrounded by people of great wealth who were giving so much. The disciples looked at the amount, Jesus looked at the heart. God worked with a surrendered heart to demonstrate genuine worship. What will it take for you to fully surrender your heart for God to work in your life for His glory and your good?

A boy with a lunch of five small loaves of bread and two small fish. 15,000 people who were hungry spiritually and physically -- but didn't have anything to eat. The disciples look around and believe, there's so little, how could it possibly feed so many? God worked with a boy's small lunch to provide a miracle. How are you limiting God's ability to work in your life for His glory and your good?

In one of the most famous statements in the Old Testament, Joshua declares to the nation of Israel that they have a decision to make about who they will serve, but he and his family have already decided and are committed to only serving God. Every person was made to worship, and every person will serve the God they choose. Not choosing is a choice. How do we create our homes to be places where decisions for Jesus are made?

Joshua uses the word “serve” six times in two verses. He is calling the people of Israel to not simply serve when it is convenient or to see God as an option among many gods. The call is to serve God “with all faithfulness.” Every area must be surrendered to God. Our homes can be filled with false idols and gods that get our attention and devotion, sometimes more than Jesus. How do we create our homes to be centered on Jesus?

Joshua instructs the people of Israel to "fear the Lord." Too often we review this as cringing in fear before God. The Biblical concept is much broader. Fearing the Lord means having such a deep respect for God that we want to please him in all we do. This is more about creating an atmosphere in our home than following a program. It's caught more than taught. How do we create our homes to be a place of worship?

God was gracious with the people of Israel. Time and time again He rescued them and protected them from attacking armies and enemies. Joshua reminded His people of God's gracious hand toward them. Has God been gracious to you or to your family? Write it down as a reminder of what God has done in the past as assurance of what He will do in the future. How do we create space to remember God's grace in our lives?
