Many gifts and decorations fill the stores during Christmas, but few point to the true story of Christ’s birth. As our world faces hardship, the hope found in Scripture shines brighter than any holiday tradition.
“A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices.”
While festivities can sometimes bring stress or sadness, the nativity story brings comfort and addresses our deepest needs. The miracle of Emmanuel—God with us—reminds us of God’s love reaching into our broken world.
Jesus, born in humble circumstances, came as the light of the world to offer forgiveness and everlasting life. His arrival marked a new beginning for all who trust in Him.
This season is an invitation to share the life-giving message of Christ with those around us. Many are searching for meaning, and God calls us to guide them toward the truth with grace and courage.
Opening the Bible with friends, family, or newcomers can change lives, as seen in churches where such simple acts build faith and relationships. This Christmas, let us offer the greatest gift—introducing others to the Gospel and the love of our Savior.
