By the prophet Isaiah, the Lord promised, “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.”
Immanuel, means “God with us.” And, He Who kept His promise to come once to save His people from sins, will also be faithful to return to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.
Take heart, in times easier or times harder or times mundane, for in Christ alone, who took on flesh, hope always endures.
Without the birth of Jesus, all news ends in bad news. The birth of Jesus is good news, bringing joy to people.
