Christmastime is here. In just a few days we will be celebrating the birth of our King. The coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. I can say with confidence, this year 2020 has been a disappointment to most of us. Many have suffered great loss, great hardship, to the extremes. Our country has been turned upside down and inside out. We have a president who put our country and her needs ahead of his. Yet he also suffered greatly. President Trump and his family have been put through a living hell. But he never stopped fighting for us. We had hope that our election would prove how much the American people support him. But instead fraudulent acts, theft, lies have robbed us of the victory we voted for.
Oh, and yes, the world was polluted with a virus. I think we all know about that.
Then we remember we have the greatest hope of all, Jesus Christ. Regardless what the enemy tries to do, it cannot and will not take our hope away. This week many looked to the skies to view the “Christmas Star”. Two planets, Jupiter and Saturn were to be very close to one another, giving us the image of the Christmas Star in the sky. For so many it was a reminder of our hope that was born over 2000 years ago. That hope doesn’t disappoint. It never fades, or disappears. It may not seem as vibrant at times, but it remains. It is steadfast and always there for us.
“The Word became flesh and took up residence among us. We observed His glory, the glory as the One and Only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.”
John 1:14 HCSB
The Word became flesh, and took up residence.... Yes, He took up residence. He came to live amongst us. He didn’t come for a season and then move away. He came and stayed.
I gift this to you faithful readers. The promise of hope, our living hope, who lives amongst us, forever.
We will face trials and turmoil. Our world will seem upside down at times. Our government will disappoint us. Will we ever be able to trust the government? We must remember, they are flesh, like the rest of us. There is only one perfect among us. Our Lord Jesus Christ. He will never disappoint us. He is always here for us. Always here for us.
I pray you all have a wonderful Christmas season. I pray you take time to reflect what Christmas really means to us.
Merry Christmas my friends.
