Merry Christmas! Today we light the 5th and final candle of Advent. This candle represents Jesus himself; the Son of God, Immanuel (God with us), the One True Light who has come to bring light to our hearts. The gift of God’s Son offers hope, love, joy and peace. He is the author of all things and the fulfillment of all things.
What a Glorious moment when Jesus entered the world. The Holy King of Heaven made flesh! I’ve often wondered what it would’ve been like to have been there. Oh what a miraculous moment! Everything changed that day!
My prayer today is that you will embrace the promise of God’s Son. That this event will be more than just a cute story about a baby born in a manger with cuddly little animals and that this event won’t just be part of your Christmas celebration, but will be the very reason why you celebrate. Jesus came to redeem God’s creation and you and I are a part of that. God loves you like no one else can. He not only came into his world, but he also died and was resurrected for our redemption and salvation. We can now experience “life to the full” when we receive Christ in our hearts. If you have a few moments today, stop and listen to a few of the old Christmas hymns. They tell of this wonderful redemption story. I would like to share my favorite Christmas Song with you. Enjoy!
Oh Holy Night
He is a gift for EVERYONE and in Him are hope, love, joy and peace. Merry Christmas!
