1 1 Volume 4, Issue 52 Inside this issue: HOLIDAY CALENDAR 2 Weekly Church Announcements 3-6 Youth Corner Calendar of Events & Prayer List 7 8 Week Ending December 29, 2018 The Oak News S H A D Y O A K B A P T I S T C H U R C H N E W S A N D I N F O R M A T I O N Just Another Day December 2018 In Christmas Every Day, William Dean Howells tells of a little girl who gets her wish. For one long, horrible year it is indeed Christmas every day. By day three, the yuletide joy has already begun to wear thin. Before long everyone hates candy. Turkeys become scarce and sell for outrageous prices. Presents are no longer received with gratitude as they pile up everywhere. People angrily snap at each other. Thankfully, Howell s story is just a satirical tale. But what an incredible blessing that the subject of the Christmas celebration never wearies us despite the fact that we see Him throughout the Bible. After Jesus had ascended to His Father, the apostle Peter proclaimed to a crowd at the temple in Jerusalem that Jesus was the one Moses foretold when he said, God will raise up for you a prophet like me (Acts 3:22; Deuteronomy 18:18). God s promise to Abraham, Through your offspring all peoples on earth will be blessed, was really a reference to Jesus (Acts 3:25; Genesis 22:18). Peter noted, All the prophets who have spoken have foretold these days the arrival of the Messiah (Acts 3:24). We can keep the spirit of Christmas alive long after the celebrations have ended. By seeing Christ in the whole story of the Bible we can appreciate how Christmas is so much more than just another day. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus. Acts 3:13 Father, thank You for giving us Your Son, and for giving us His Story on the pages of the Bible. This year as you pack up Christmas decorations, don t put away the spirit of Christmas. From Our Daily Bread for December 26,
