It’s been a quiet, difficult Christmas for many of us. So, I guess we can relate to Mary & Joseph, who after a tiring journey gave birth to a special baby boy in a barn. Hidden in the hay lay the helper of the whole world.
Cares about our life, security, health, and welfare have been heightened. In the chaos, let's remember the birth of Jesus Christ, his agony here on Earth, and the treasure He gave us all. And just as the shepherds who heard and experienced that night’s news could not contain their excitement, so let us also pick up our phones, write letters, send e-mails and text messages, and knock at our friends’ doors.
Set aside your worries and come to Bethlehem. Turn from evil and find victory in this child in the manger. Release your fear of death and grasp hold of eternal life. Your home may be locked down but fling open the doors of your heart for this precious guest.
