Christmas At The Crossroads - "Looking For Christmas"
December 4, 2022 • Pastor Scott Weatherford • Isaiah 9:6
Introduction: We look ....tis the season. We Look for kin
folks to arrive...planes to board....time to pass...hope to
anchor....joy to embrace....peace to become real....love to
experience. We Look...tis the season.
But there must be more than the looking. There is a
longing, a desire...this season enfolds a mystical nuance
that builds the looking into an expectation. I remember
the looking from my childhood. The hope of gifts unseen,
the joy of families gathered, the peace that was sung
about and experienced, the love that filled the air with an
aroma of acceptance.
I remember looking through the years of my family.
Looking for the gleam in my children’s eyes, the love in
Tara’s face, the joy from the people who God had
entrusted me to love and lead.
Now I Look....but for what. Here on this beginning of
Christmas season, I, like you, look. We gather to sing, to
listen, to experience something or someone who might fill
this longing expectation. We look...tis the season.
