Behold, Christ.

“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” (Isaiah 9:6)

“And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with fear. And the angel said to them, "Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of a great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” (Luke 2:9-11)


Today marks a time when Christians around the world celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. We take this time to thank God for his unparalleled gift to mankind – sending His Son to be an offering for our sins, and a path to knowing God. Our faith is that His glory came in love, for love – to free us from a life of sin that leads only to pain, suffering, and death – to restore us to a life lived by, for, and with our Father, God.

This is not just a day for friends, family, presents, and decorated trees – but a time marked off for the rest of our souls in the work of the Cross; a time where we can find peace in the comfort of our Savior; a day where our joy can be made full in the witness of God’s love, glory, and faithfulness.


“And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, ‘Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!’” (Luke 2:13-14)


If you put your faith in Christ – take this day to love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and might and to love others as yourself.

If you have never heard about Christ, never put your faith in Him, or have your questions, doubts, or problems with this whole thing – find someone to talk to about the true Christ – a lover of souls, a healer, a redeemer.


“I have come into the world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness.” (John 12:46)
