Jesus will never take his eyes off you

​Our message at church last night included the nativity scene. I see the scene and imagine how many visitors must have come and gone in those earliest days.

There is something symbolic about that. How our attention to Jesus comes and goes. Our attention is high here at Christmas; but tomorrow will be the day after Christmas. Our attention toward him might begin to fade.

I'm reminded this morning, Jesus came with the hope that our attention would always be fixed on him. That was his hope - for sure.

But Jesus came with the promise that he would never take his eyes off us, not for a second.

Tomorrow will be the day after Christmas, our attention might fade, but his promise won't. There's something very encouraging about that.

A very merry Christmas to you all.
