EVE OF CHRIST'S BIRTH

Today is a day of great celebration--for children, retailers, consumers and ,of course, Christians.  All the fun and festivities shared with family and friends, as well as the food, will bring lots of joy for many of us.  But for those who are hurting, because of a great variety of unfortunate things--sicknesses, sins, losses, etc., I send to you the news of a Saviour who came to the world for these very reasons.  He can change your life around, if you will let Him.  Start your new year right with the newborn Christ in your heart.

While most of us use this date as the date of the eve before Christ's birth, it really is immaterial whether this IS the actual date, historically.  What is important is that we not only celebrate His birth, but receive Him and become children of God.  See John 1.

I join with you in spirit to thank our God for sending His Son to us.  With you, I look forward to sharing His birth and His salvation all next year as God gives us time in this world.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
