Christmas Reflection 2024

“We all have access to the Son, the very Word of God, and we can know Him.” At Christmas, we celebrate the incredible truth that God has come to us not through prophets or laws as in the past but through His very Son, Jesus Christ. This is the ultimate gift, one that brings hope, love, and joy into our lives. In Christ, we find a foundation of peace that drives away fear, worry, and anxiety. God has made Himself accessible to us, inviting us to know, love, and trust Him. As we pause amidst the celebrations, may we reflect on this life-giving gift of God’s presence and thank Him for the joy and peace it brings.
