Joy to the world
The Lord has come
Let earth receive her king
No matter who you are, where you come from, or what you’ve done, Christmas is good news for us all. On Christmas we celebrate the historical fact that God in His love sent His Son into our world. We sing carols of great joy, not that we have found God but that the Lord has come to us.
From his birth in a manger to his death on a cross, Jesus was rejected at every turn. Which means he sympathizes with us in our struggles. More than that, he shouldered the condemnation we all deserve. By coming down into our mess, Jesus made a way for us to ascend to his glory. For all who receive Jesus as King, heaven’s gates are opened wide.
This is the good news we rejoice over at Christmas, and all year long. We hope that you’ll come and see for yourself.
