Christmas Certitude
By George Thurlow
Not just nostalgic moments
Or memories of Christmas past,
The flocking of friends and family
And all the wholesome things like that.
Christmas is far substantial
Than holiday traditions of man:
Its impact is overreaching
With a vast eternal plan.
Christmas speaks of promises
And prophecies fulfilled,
Not just in Christ's first coming,
But even those that await us still.
And like the Sons of Issachar
With understanding of the times,
We too have prophetic insight
And discernment of the signs.
Anticipation charged with Glory
Much like the days of yore,
As we watch and pray like Simeon
Christ coming it is sure.
Christmas is our reminder
That the Word of God is true,
And that Christ is coming back for us
Just like He said He'd do.
