There wasn't room for you in the inn. When you were a child your life was threatened. You lived a life of poverty in an enslaved society. You never knew fame without also knowing derision and scorn. You worked miracles and were accused of being possessed. You taught peace and were rewarded with violence. You healed the sick, the lame, the blind, yet you were tortured to death. You felt the burdens and anguish of the entirety of humanity, and still gave us a way to escape our suffering through yours. You died on the cross, and yet you live.
You saved us all. You are the greatest gift we have ever been given. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you for showing us a more perfect way to live. Thank you for opening the gates of heaven to let us in. Thank you for carrying our burdens and lifting our hearts.
We didn't deserve you. We never will. Thank you for loving us anyway. Thank you for being our Lord, our Redeemer, and our Friend. Thank you or giving us Christmas, but more importantly, thank you for giving us Easter.
