Test everything; hold fast to what is good. (1 Thessalonians 5:21)
The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light!
(Isaiah 9:2)
This promise does not deny the darkness we know
— uncertainty, grief, weariness —
but it tells us that God’s light comes to us.
God meets us in real life, with all its joys and struggles.
In the birth of Christ, God steps into our world and shines with a light that is life.
May Christ's light rest upon you this Christmas,
bringing peace and hope to you and yours.
A Blessed Christmas Season.
