1. Dr. Tom’s TEN WONDERS OF CHRISTMAS

2. WONDER #1  How there was no room in the inn or anywhere else for this child or any child to be born just as I ponder how so many people today have no room in their heart for Jesus.

3. WONDER #2  How God chose to leave heaven—his omnipotence, his omnipresence, his omniscience—to live in a frail human body and be born in a feeding trough.

4. WONDER #3  How God chose to be born, live among, and teach the poor instead of the middle class and wealthy just as I understand why middle class and wealthy people today have no need of the Savior.

5. WONDER #4  How so many things about Jesus Christ were prophesied correctly in the Bible by different prophets.

6. WONDER #5  How the magi or wise men paid such attention to the star while most people missed it.

7. WONDER #6  How it must have felt to experience the heavenly host of angels singing the good news and how their praise seems to be similar to the worship we will be a part of someday in heaven.

8. WONDER #7  How Mary and Joseph must have felt at being the parents of the Son of God and how different Jesus must have been from other children.

9. WONDER #8  How children may have mocked Jesus as a “do gooder” just as we are sometimes made fun of when we do good.

10. WONDER #9  How the message of Christmas is so simple that so many people just don’t get it—including some Christians.

11. WONDER #10  How God so loved me that he gave his only begotten son so that if I believe in him I will never perish but will have eternal life.

12. But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart. Luke 2:19 (NKJV) What are your personal ponderings of the Wonders of Christmas?
