If you have free time between Christmas and New Year’s Eve, make good use of it. Enjoy the company of family and friends, pursue your favorite pastime, and relax.

Above all else, take some time to read the Bible. If you already do that daily, take some extra time. If you do not do that daily, start today. You can begin with the gospel of Luke.

It isn’t long in the Gospel of Luke before you see Jesus as a twelve-year-old. He had some free time since his parents inadvertently left him behind when they set out for home after celebrating a holiday. In that free time, Jesus found teachers of the Bible. He listened to them and asked them questions.

You might think that Jesus was a great example of doing that. But he was more than that. Because he always did the right thing, he earned the right to be your Savior. When he finished his life, he had never sinned but took the punishment for sin and declared that it counted for you. Through faith, you have his perfect life credited to your account. It’s your ticket to heaven.

Because Jesus took care of things for you, you can rest between Christmas and New Year’s Eve. Enjoy reading all about him on any day of the year!

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, lead me to see you clearly in every word of the Bible. Amen.
