Today is the one time the entire world thinks about Jesus and what it means to joyfully live Him out. Christmas begins with God’s desire to dwell with and in us. Christ takes root in our hearts and minds; and is embodied in our daily lives. Sustained by God’s grace, I pray that this Christmas may reflect His beauty into the world He lovingly created and sustains. May you be drawn to His presence and receive His gifts today and evermore.

This is why Christmas fills us with such deep joy. At Christmas, theology is no longer only spoken or studied—it is wrapped in flesh and given to us in Christ Jesus. God comes near, light enters the darkness, and we are invited to rejoice and be captivated by Him. The Christmas story reminds us that even in trial and tribulation Christ saved us for both eternity and to live Him out today – being Christ’s image (He dwells in us) that brings purpose and healing from Heaven to earth. I pray that today you might consider what it means to be God’s presence and light to a broken world, as Christ dwells in you.

hope – peace – joy & love is just the beginning
