Hope and Joy

Christmas day cannot be a holiday for everyone, but it can be Christmas! While many among us have to work or face circumstances that prevent a ‘holiday’, we can all share the wonder that God would give the greatest gift imaginable on the first Christmas day. The two words that perhaps best reflect what Christmas is are hope and joy. Hope in a future that is certain because the King, the real King, has come and joy that he walks with us as Immanuel, God is with us. May this Christmas day for you be one of joy and confident expectation that God is in control and that nothing can separate you from the love of God revealed in his son. Have a blessed Christmas!
