Holiday Bliss

Bustles of the holidays continue to buzz around me. I am constantly reminded of more gifts, food and Christmas accessories that need to be bought. And somehow in the midst of the dozens of oops-forgot-to-buys is the twinkling thought of "Yup, this is Christmas."

But lest we forget, "For unto us a child is born, for unto us a son is given. And the government shall be upon His shoulder and His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace."

This truly is the hope of the Christmas message, is it not? For this, truly, is Christmas — the birth of the Christ child, born with the purpose of becoming the sacrificial lamb to take on the sins of the world that through His death and resurrection all might have the gift of eternal life.

Let us boast in Christ this Christmas season, our Hope, our Salvation, our Lord.
