The message of Christmas is a message of HOPE for everyone, because we’ve all felt at one point or another that we have a big mountain in front of us with heavy loads on our back. That moment when we think: “How long is this going to go on?,” and understand what it’s like to feel weary sometimes. That’s the whole Christmas message when you think about it.

Into the darkness of waiting that the world was doing on a dark night when shepherds were out in their fields, symbolizing that darkness, God broke through not just with angel light but with the One who would be called the “Light of the World.” And those who turned and set their eyes on this One who is the Light of the World have a kind of HOPE born inside of them that changes everything. That HOPE is there for you this Christmas.
