We all long for a leader who won’t let us down. History is full of people who started strong but ultimately fell short. Even Israel’s greatest kings—Saul, David, and Solomon—couldn’t give people what they most needed. Their lives were shadows pointing to something more. At Christmas, we celebrate that the true King has come. It’s more than a sentimental story—it’s the arrival of God’s promised King. God gave us not just a baby in a manger, but a great King who will reign forever. This Christmas season, we’ll celebrate the long-anticipated King who doesn’t rise and fall but reigns forever, the King our souls long for. Let’s prepare our hearts to welcome Him.
