In Luke 7, John the Baptist asks a really important Christmas-Prep question. "Jesus are  you the one, or should we keep looking?" Here is what I believe. I believe that every heart-longing you have, or think you have, every ache that arises when you see something or someone that you desire; when you dream of more success, or  wake up hoping you are somehow more attractive, when you drive by a bigger house and say I wish; when you say what you say or do what you do and then look
around hoping someone noticed...and perhaps will even applaud; what your soul truly longs for is Jesus.

We cannot prepare for Christmas, truly prepare if don't fix our eyes and our hearts on Jesus. Nothing compares to the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus, Paul wrote.  He is the resurrection and the life, light of the world, Our Savior and King. The greatness of Christianity is Christ. The reward of following Jesus is Jesus. 

And so if we are going to truly prep for Christmas, we should ask and settle the question, "Jesus are you the one?"
