How's the New Years resolution cycle going? Identify the necessary change, make a commitment to change, fail to change, feel the guilt ... and do it all again next year. What if the thing that most needs changing is our way of thinking and our heart? Jesus speaks of the new needing to be removed from the old in Matthew 9 and Paul writes about a new wardrobe to get dressed up in in Colossians 3.

What does it look like this Christmas season and day to day for us to set our expectations on the person of Jesus?

Christmas often can be overwhelmed with all that is on and we end up robbed of the joy the season is about. But when we focus on the true and powerful message of Christmas it shifts our thinking and hope, not to be on what the season might be like but on what Jesus has done for us. He is our hope and joy unfailing.
