Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
(Luke 2:10-12, KJV).
For all my friends, my family, and friends of New Covenant Church of God, know that the good tidings of great joy for this Christmas and every Christmas, is that God has been revealed to us in a babe born in Bethlehem. So let’s open our hearts to the presence of God in one another. May we remember in our hearts our neighbors, friends, and family, living both near and far…wishing them peace and good will. And, may our hope for the coming year be that the lamb and the lion lie down in peace. Let us remember those whose spirits are aching on this day…and pray the Spirit of God lift up those spirits today that they might be mended. And, may the Christ, revealed to us in Bethlehem's manger, take up permanent residence in our hearts and minds this day, and always. Amen.
