Christmas is right upon us. I know some of you feel the sadness and grief still from the tragedy in Connecticut, as do I. It is a little difficult for many of us to get into the proper spirit of Christmas with this kind of sorrow hanging over our country.
And yet, the world that Jesus entered on that very first Christmas was also a terrible place. Herod committed the same horrors at the birth of Christ (Matthew 2:16). So how could the shepherds and the angels rejoice with such abandon? Simply this: Christ’s entry into this tear-stained world was intended to transform a world under siege. Christ came to transform us first, from the inside-out, then to change the world for the better and to wipe away every tear.
And so He is doing!! Do not hold back in your celebration!! Joy to the World, the Lord has come, let earth receive her King!!!
