Mark 1:40-42 (NKJV)
40 Now a leper came to Him (Jesus), imploring Him, kneeling down to Him
and saying to Him, "If You are willing, You can make me clean."
41 Then Jesus, moved with compassion, stretched out His hand and
touched him, and said to him, "I am willing; be cleansed."
42 As soon as He had spoken, immediately the leprosy left him, and he
was cleansed.

This is just what we celebrate this week! The leper was considered
"Untouchable" in Jesus' day, but Jesus out of compassion, reached out
and TOUCHED him! He received healing immediately because he had come to
Jesus in faith.
God looked down on His creation and had compassion on them! Out of mercy
and grace, He reached down and touched us! In that touch He granted
forgiveness and life to all who would believe. Do have that life and
forgiveness? If not, why not today? Then you will have something to
celebrate.
For those without Jesus, Christmas is just another day, even if they get
the day off, they have nothing to celebrate
Trust God today and celebrate every day!
