What are you looking forward to eating this Christmas? Maybe it’s the first taste of the turkey on Christmas day, or a few pigs-in-blankets from the Christmas buffet at work. Maybe it’s working your way through yet another box of chocolates. These things are certainly an enjoyable part of this time of year. But have you noticed something that all these food treats have in common? They are incredibly temporary. We can spend weeks, or even months looking forward to them, but they are gone in a moment.

However, the good news of the Christmas story, that God sent Jesus to earth (to pay for all the wrong we’ve done), gives us something eternal to look forward to. And that is an eternity in Heaven, free from all the pain, suffering and sin we see around us today. That, is better than anything you’ll find on your plate this Christmas.
