The Mystery Continues, the Promise Remains!

Christmas – Season of Promise

Love conquers all–so we’ve been told. But sometimes love appears to be on the losing side in our world. Ultimately, however, love will prevail, if not in this life, then in the next. For God so loved the world that he sent his Son and he continues to send his Son, to cast his spirit upon our troubled waters, stirring them when they become stagnant, calming them when troubled.

God so loved the world . . . The mystery continues, the promise remains. Christmas continues long after the presents are unwrapped and the decorations put away.

God so loved the world . . . This is the mystery of Christmas. This is the mystery of each day as we wake anew and Christ is born anew in our hearts. Not one day, but every day.

Everyone begotten of God conquers the world, and the power that has conquered the world is this faith of ours.     1 John 5:4
