If it seems like Christmas only creates extra burdens in your life, that isn't by design. When God's prophet Isaiah spoke about the birth of Jesus, he said, "You have shattered the yoke that burdens them, the bar across their shoulders." Today we see that Jesus came to shatter the burden of exile. All of us were made for a home that we have lost because of sin. And yet, by becoming flesh, Jesus willingly made himself the exile so that he could lead his exiled people home. Because of Jesus, we have a permanent home in God’s family and a place where we always belong!
