This
Christmas season you can be assured that Jesus Christ is here. He is here to
give us hope, to forgive our sins, to give us a new song, to impart faith and
to heal our spiritual wounds—if only we will let Him.
The
Christmas message has not changed in more than 2,000 years. Christmas still
reminds us that God is with us.
In
spite of all the pessimism and cynicism, in spite of all the headlines about
murders, assassinations, riots, demonstrations and war, Jesus Christ is alive.
He is alive to conquer despair, to impart hope, to forgive sins and to take
away our loneliness. He is alive to reconcile us to God.
This
Christmas, accept Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord. Give Him the gift that
He wants—your heart, your soul, your life.
