Christmas is the season of love, the season of joy, and the
season of hope. Our joy and our hope is in Christ Jesus, our Lord. And whether
you live in India, China, America, Europe, Africa, or somewhere else in the
world, we are all brothers and sisters in Christ.
The Apostle John's words emphasize the work of the Lord Jesus in His coming.
"In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the
darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." John continues, "But to all
who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become
children of God, who were born not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of
the will of man, but of God. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and
we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace
and truth…And from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace." (John
1:4, 5, 12-14, 16 ESV)
So to all of my brothers and sisters in Christ, I wish you a
Christmas filled with an outpouring of His grace. I wish you the abiding,
supernatural joy that comes only from God. I wish you blessings here on earth,
but most of all, blessings that are eternal.
