Christmas is For Us
The incarnation is "for us," not for Jesus. The celebration is ours, not for Him. What this means, though, is that the incarnation is not able to be confined to a day or a season, no matter how long we might think that season should be celebrated. That the Word became flesh is the towering fact of our salvation. The incarnation spans both the centuries of the millennia and the days and seasons of our years, without being confined to or restrained by our rules about dates and times. Certainly, we should continue to celebrate the fact of the incarnation through the 12 days of Christmas that began on Christmas Day until the Epiphany on 6 January.
The following groups will take a break during the Christmas season and resume in January:
Tuesday Morning Bible Class
Young Adults Bible Study
Men's Breakfast & Bible Study
Adult Instruction
See you in the new year!
