What a joyous season this is. Although that is sometimes too easily lost. Perhaps that comes from all the expectations that we place on this time and on ourselves. It is almost as if we have this idea of a "perfect" Christmas, but things never actually live up to it, and we are left with disappointment. Christmas is quite simple, quite miraculous, and quite mysterious. Because God became a human being. He was incarnate by the Holy Spirit, and born of the virgin Mary. He would grow up and suffer and die and rise again. And because he died and rose again, there is for you and me life. This life is not just something that we have to wait until we die to enjoy, but it is life that is before death. I pray that this life is a source of strength and encouragement for you, and that in this Christmas season (it is 12 days long) you would know God's peace in Jesus. Merry Christmas.
Sincerely,
Pastor CJ
