Our Hope is in God, who sent His only Son to make peace with God possible for you and me. This is the basis for our ability to have joy, even when we are hurting – as many are during the holidays. All this is possible because of His love, or more specifically, His steadfast love. I’d like to offer you a wonderful paragraph to meditate on from Paul’s letter to the Colossians:
“He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross. (1:15-20, ESV)
So, this Christmas, I pray we’ll all reflect on the greatness of the Incarnation, that wonderful truth that Jesus, the perfect God-man came to earth to bring peace between us and God.
