Merry Christmas!
We're just finishing up a few more details getting ready for our Christmas Eve services tonight, and I'm looking forward to the night's celebrations. Christmas Eve is always a special night, and it's going to be fun to join with the Concordia family tonight. We've got services at 4pm and 6:30pm, and we're praying that they will be a meaningful time to once again hear the story of God's heart of love for His people, and to respond with songs, prayers, and lives filled with joy because of the coming of our Saviour to us.
It's the beginning of the story of Jesus' life on earth. The story is about the One who came to take our place: to live the perfect life of obedience to God the Father because we could not, to die the death that was the punishment for sin that should have been ours, and to be raised to new life that is also given to us. And that changes everything for us as people.
Yeah, that sounds like the Easter story. It is. Christmas and Easter are connected. Jesus' birth is a part of the story. So are His life, death, and resurrection.
May you know joy and hope as we see His story and our story intersect once again tonight.
Merry Christmas!
