Anna and Simeon spent their lives watching for Jesus until they were old.
The shepherds followed the angel's instructions from the back fields through midnight into to Bethlehem.
The wise men followed the star from a far country until it led them to the new King.
Worth it.
Worth it.
Worth it.
Staying up late, running hard, going far.
It's how we love.
You already know it.
You've been up late stretching budgets and wrapping presents and preparing surprises and finding new and beautiful ways to show your people they matter. You do it all the time, and you double down at Christmas.
Worth it.
Worth it.
Worth it.
God waited until the fullness of time was come.
He sent messengers to announce the news.
And He sent Jesus ... from heaven to earth; from glory to humanity; from being served, to serving.
And Jesus looked right at us - yes, you, and me - and sang
Worth it.
Worth it.
Worth it.
Merry Christmas, dear friends.
