Christmas is a time of waiting and hope. Both children and adults alike await Christmas Eve so they can go to sleep and awaken to the gifts of Christmas. We are all built to anticipate the good. God has instilled hope within each of us. In fact, the Bible says that God has put eternity in our hearts (Ecclesiastes 3:11). Israel had been looking for their Messiah for centuries, but He did not come like they were expecting. He was born among Shepherds and livestock, then He was placed in a lowly manger. Isn’t this like God? He doesn’t burst on the scene in performance, style, or even among the rich and famous. Instead, He comes meekly and in a way that we must look for Him. After seeing the Angels of Heaven, the Shepherds said among themselves, “Let us go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass which the Lord has made known to us.” So, this season, you too must come to see the truth of Christmas. It is not in the things of this Earth, but it is about God’s love that is seen through His gift of grace that was given to us in Christ Jesus. So, let’s look past the gifts, the football, the tinsel, the food, and the parties, and let's see God’s love presented to us through our loving Savior, Jesus Christ. Come be with us this Christmas Season at ChristWay Church. We will present our loving Savior whom God has made known to us in worship and in word. Blessings. ​
