We are now just a week away from the celebration of Christ's birth. For Christians everywhere, this is a time of reflecting on the immeasurable grace of God. "For God so loved the world...." is a familiar refrain, and we can never completely comprehend how much it cost Him to provide our redemption.
That little baby sleeping peacefully in a feeding trough would one day suffer like nobody else in order that we may be reunited with our Creator.
But at Christmas, the focus has always been "Peace on earth, good will toward men."
May it be so with all of us. Let us put aside our differences and focus on our Savior..."lying in a manger."
I wish each of you a very Merry Christmas, and a joyous and prosperous New Year.
God bless.....
