Christmas is a great time of the year to refocus on some things. There are many who are trying to take the Christian symbols out of Christmas or renaming this time as just the holidays. Whatever one may try or think Jesus is the central theme of Christmas and that will not change. If there were no Jesus there would not be a Christmas. John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son..." Jesus Christ. It was love, the Father's love that made Christmas possible. It was His love that Jesus came into the world. It was His love that sent the angels to declare on the day of His birth, "we bring you Good News". It was love of nurturing parents that Jesus matured and it was love for His Father that Jesus fulfilled the will of God by dying on the cross. It was love that raised Jesus from the grave. It was love that made this all possible. Therefore when you gather for all your Christmas activities this year may you be reminded that it was and is all about love that made this season possible. Let us then love in a similar manner by focusing on others and not on whay you may receive. Let us take some time and meditate on that love so as to grasp a bit more just how much the Father loves us.
May the love of the Father, the mercy of the Son and peace of the Holy Spirit be with you this Christmas season.
Pastor John
