Christmas is far more than lights, gifts, and celebrations; it is the divine story of love, redemption, and hope. It’s the moment when Heaven touched earth, and God fulfilled His promise to send a Savior. The chosen one, Mary, was called to bear the Anointed One, whose name means salvation. In Jesus, we find forgiveness, healing, and the presence of God with us.

This season invites us to do more than celebrate; it calls us to listen to Him, look to Him, and seek Him with all our hearts. He is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world, and one day, every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that He is Lord.

As we behold the true meaning of Christmas, let us remember this: the Savior who came in humility will return in glory. Let the story of His birth ignite in us a fresh desire to worship and follow Him.

In Christ,
