TFPC EM NEWSLETTER - DECEMBER 28, 2022
Wednesday, December 28, 2022 at 8:55AM His One and Only Son
Today is December 28, 2022
Welcome to your mid-week!
Christmas is where we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. And, yes, what happened on that day ultimately leads to the cross and the empty tomb. Meaning, in many ways, Christmas is a rescue story. God's one and only son is the gift given in love so that we can be saved.
However, by coming as a baby - by coming as flesh and dwelling with us - God was doing more than rescuing us. By meeting us where we were, God was showing us that his love comes from a place of understanding, compassion, and empathy. And, at the same time, by choosing to dwell with us, God was showing us that he prioritizes us.
In essence, what we traditionally do during holidays - visit friends and family members, is what God first showed us by his great act on Christmas.
And that act of 'being there for us' is something all of us should be doing more of for those around us.
God's blessing upon you as you meditate on the birth of Jesus Christ and the coming of 'the Word' as flesh and dwelling among us, and I look forward to worshipping with you this Sunday.
