It's almost Christmas. I'm really looking forward to our Christmas Eve Candle Light gathering this Thursday evening at 7 PM at the Holiday Inn Executive Center. The kids really love it. It's a great celebration of Christmas for the whole family.
I love our Christmas Eve gathering for the following reasons.
1. the sacred music
2. the candles
3. the pictures
4. the families
5. the message of Christmas
Christmas reminds us of the real value of Christianity. God loves you and took action to restore your fellowship with him through His Son, Jesus Christ. It's a beautiful thought. Because of Christ Jesus we have peace with God and peace in our hearts. The Bible says, "We have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." (Romans 5:1)
Many people today can only dream about peace. There are wars and conflicts too numerous to count which destroy people's lives. Not to mention the domestic squabbles which plague us at home. Most live without peace. Christmas reminds us that peace is possible. We need to know the Prince of peace to truly know peace in our hearts.
I wish you peace this Christmas season and throughout the year. Pastor Tom
