The Self-Talk of a Saved Soul

Christmas joy can sit beside loneliness, grief and fear. From prison, Paul sees that his chains advance the good news about Jesus because God's saving plan cannot be stopped. He does not know whether he will live or die, yet forgiveness and peace with God leave him free in Christ whatever happens. When opposition brings fear, Christians draw together, keep the gospel central, and stand side by side with courage grounded in Christ's death and resurrection.
