Greetings in Christ!
I wanted to take this opportunity to send this letter during the Christmas Season to let you know how much you are appreciated and loved.
While there can be little doubt you would rather be in the House of God at this time with us, you and I both know that the presence of God in our lives is not determined by our present location, but we can experience His touch wherever we are.
Christmas Greetings!
I trust this letter finds you and your family enjoying the Christmas Season as it descends upon us!
Isaiah 9:6 (NKJV) 6 For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Dear
Once again, the Christmas season is upon us, and I wanted to take a moment to send this letter of encouragement to you as we once again celebrate the Birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
We live in a world that is increasingly either hostile or apathetic to the message of His birth. It seems at every turn we hear about a company or business that has decided to make this simply another “holiday”, instead of the Christmas season it really is. Yet, are we to be surprised about this? I don't think so.
John 3:16 gives us the message of Christmas. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
While this verse is often overlooked as being a “Christmas verse” we can easily see the loving, giving heart of the Father in that he gave His only begotten Son.
Dear
Once again, it is that time of year when we pause to look back to appreciate both the work of Christ on the Cross, and of course, the evidence of the acceptance of His sacrifice… the Resurrection!
