The words of this familiar carol warmed my soul:

God rest ye merry gentlemen,
Let nothing you dismay.

Remember Christ our Savior,
Was born this blessed day.

To save us all from Satan’s power,
When we were gone astray.

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy,
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy.

Gone astray, you and me. Lost, dark, confused, without hope. Then Christ came.

He came for us

Dank and dark circumstances, children age 2 and under being killed for political gain. 

He came HIGH RISK

There wasn’t enough room. Unprepared. Not enough insight to know Who they were turning away.

He came UNINVITED

Many people didn’t like him or they were jealous of his power and his following.

He came though UNPOPULAR

He broke down every hindrance to make relationship with us.  

HE CAME FOR US . . .

Come let us Adore Him!
