Dear Church Family,
Luke 2:12 – This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” 16 – So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger.
In all of the activities and events of this Christmas season, the verses above give us a sense of the very first Christmas morning. A time of excitement, yet serenity, a time of anticipation, the realization of the most blessed Gift that could ever come to humanity, Jesus Christ, the Son of God!
We are living in a day when it seems that the word “Christmas” is constantly under attack as we as Christians are encouraged to feel somehow “guilty” when it comes to this particular time. Well, let me say in as loud a “voice” as I can type… “I'M NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL. ” Romans 1:16 – For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
