Merry Christmas 2025

         Merry Christmas 2025 to one and all!

When we think of our Jesus and the day or was it night, He was born, we think of the lowly stable and manger and the "no-room-for-Him" 'inn.'  And then we read Philippians 2:1-11, especially verse 8 where Jesus

 "humbled Himself" 

to be 

"found in human form," 

and the

 "form of a servant" (vs 7).

Humility was the mantel He wore.  From the riches of Heaven to the home of the poor among the poor, He came.  His purpose and mission death on a cross to buy our pardon and give remission for our sins.  We can only give Him our praise and adoration again and again.  Taking the broken bread and drinking of the cup of wine, we remember all this that Jesus has done for our souls.

From the angels singing on high to the shepherds startled joy at the birth of Jesus and visiting and going forth more joyful, to the eventual visit of the wise men, come to worship King Jesus, we can add our joyful refrains.

We can sing sweetly, celebrating Jesus' birth but also remembering His mission.  Let's give Him our thanks and praise all over again, letting it echo throughout the earth.  

"Jesus our Lord has come!"

We praise You, Jesus, for the wonder of Your birth, Your astonishing sacrifice on the cross and the revolutionary resurrection from the dead.  We give You our heartfelt gratitude for now living for us in Heaven.  We praise Your glorious name, Lord Jesus!
