Christmas

Christmas anticipation can build for a month, while the celebration itself passes quickly. Beyond shepherds and a manger stands a larger reality. The eternal Word who made all things became flesh and entered a world darkened by sin. At the cross, Jesus bore sin's punishment, and His glory was seen in saving sinners. Those who receive Him and believe in His name are born of God, welcomed as His children, and may confidently call God their Father. Bible Reference: John 1:1–14 Preacher: KJ Tromp
