It’s Time!

 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.                                                                               John 3:16

Here it is. Christmas Eve, 2025. This is a most anticipated evening for so many little boys and girls, and even for us bigger boys and girls. The majesty of God brought to earth in the person of Jesus. We have celebrated this event for centuries, even though the celebration has changed over those centuries.

The basic story has not changed. God so loved the world that he sent his Son to earth to reconcile us to the God of the universe. In doing so, he sent that son as a helpless child to a helpless population. His love for us reached to that extent.

So today, as we celebrate that marvelous event, let’s show to the world that we can have joy and peace, even in the midst of chaos and division. The world is as broken as ever, but God’s love is as sustaining as ever.

Let us welcome the Son into this world again, and let’s celebrate his freeing presence!

Merry Christmas!

Prayer: Lord, we are so grateful for the gift of Jesus who is the hope of the world, Amen
