Christmas Central

It's game-on for the Christmas tradition "Elf on the Shelf." Quite mysteriously, the elf "moves" about unseen and may be spotted in the most inconspicuous locations, causing squeals of delight among children (and adults, so I understand). Also hidden - and sadly lost - among the Season is The Cross of Christ. As early as Genesis, there is evidence of God's Plan to save mankind from the rule of Satan and sin: to the serpent, God said, "And I will put enmity (open hostility) between you and the woman, and between your seed (offspring) and her Seed; He shall [fatally] bruise your head, and you shall [only] bruise His heel." (Genesis 3:15). Indeed, the manger preceded The Cross, and we rejoice in God's plan, at the proper time, "God sent His Son, born of a woman." (Galatians 4:4). What a loving and gracious Father we have! The Cross must be central to our Christmas - therein is The Cause and Greatest Measure of celebration. Make Christmas Central ... The Cross.
