This swap series will help us to finish out the year with an attitude of worship! Jesus is the Reason for the Holiday Season, so let’s keep our hearts and minds on Him this Christmas! Read the recommended Bible passages and the Christmasy blurb below. Send your partner a letter or notecard answering the questions at the end of this post.

Bible passages to read and reflect on this week:

Luke 1:26 - 2:20

Wherever today finds you, the message of Christmas is still the same. The Messiah was born for you! Jesus did not come to give us a nice story tell. He did not come to give us a reason to exchange gifts. Christmas day is about God giving the gift of His some to you so that you could belong to Him. The gift is the same whether you are surrounded by family or alone in your living room. It is the same on Christmas as it is on every other day of the year. A Savior was born for us, and that is worth celebrating any day. Today, let us commit to celebrating God's gift each day of the year.

Is this Christmas everything you'd hope it would be? Why or Why not?

What thoughts and feelings are you experiencing this week?

How can you celebrate the message of Christmas every day of the year?
