“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 2:10-11Dear Children of God,“It’s the most wonderful time of the year.” Those are thewords from the familiar Christmas carol. In many ways, and formany people, it is. For Christmas is a magical, marvelous, mag-nificent time of giving and receiving, seeing and believing. Butfor others Christmas is a time of heartache and hardship. Pov-erty, sickness and death do not take a “Christmas break”. Why just today I already received a phone call from a single motherinquiring as to whether the church would be helping familiesduring this holy season.Perhaps something or someone has put a damper on your“holiday spirit”. Perhaps you have little or no hope that nextyear will be better than this. Perhaps you are wondering how themortgage will get paid, or whether you will ever find another job.If that is the case, then “
 fear not, for I bring you good news of  great joy. Today is born to you in the city of David a savior who isChrist the Lord!” 
This joy of Christ Jesus is based not on temporal events, but eternalrealities. Jesus is THE Savior! He has saved us from the effects of sin,from the grasp of the devil, and from eternal death. These are giftsthat truly do keep on giving!This joy of Christ Jesus is not seasonal, but the lasts the year, yes,all your life long! We celebrated the gifts of Christ every Sunday whenwe gather in His presence to receive His grace and mercy, to enter intoHis presence in order to partake of His presents.
