It's late Christmas Eve as I type this brief note to you, and it's quite dark outside. It's in this darkness that we celebrate our God radically entering our lives at the birth of Jesus born in the manger. It's difficult to comprehend that we can be loved so much, so accepted, and so embraced by our Creator, yet here we are onlookers at the foot of the manger, standing with the shepherds on a hillside where angels from the realm of glory pronounce that unto us, this night, is born a baby who is the Lord, the Messiah. May you be filled with the love of Christ and the embrace of our radically relational God this Christmas and in the new year to come.
peace,
Pastor Paul :o)
