The anticipation level is increasing around. There are only 12 days left until Christmas! Now think about all the anticipation we all have for Christmas day and finally being able to open our presents. Can you imagine the disappointment if you didn’t receive anything you needed, or worse you received nothing you wanted! We anticipate Christmas because we know that we will receive a gift worth waiting for.
This morning we are going to look again at “What Does It all Mean, a gift worth waiting for,“A Savior Has Been Born.”
Jesus is God’s gift, a gift worth waiting for! What is so special about Jesus? What is so special about the birth of another baby? Babies are born every day; what is so special about Jesus that makes Him a gift worth waiting for? Luke put it this way.

SCRIP: Luke 2:1-7 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. 2And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria. 3And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. 4And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; because he was of the house and lineage of David:
5To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. 6And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. 7And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
