lost 452 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 As a Pastor of 30 plus years, and a Christian since the tender age of 7, it is sometimes tough to remain silent on here but I realize that rules apply to all-- regardless. So I try to abide by that I said I would when I joined. But it is in this time of year I feel I can express myself the most and not offend or break that which I have committed to. Christmas is made up of so many things. Because of that, many have good and not so good memories of this time. But Christmas of itself is simple. It is the story of God loving man so much He gave His SON. It was the ultimate Gift. Where separation and no way to ever heal a broken relationship was, God came and extended His mercy and grace and love to a fallen race. When they could never come to Him, He came to them. He was that Gift! The Angel said it best to the Shepherds. God extended " Peace, Good Will " towards US..... a STRANGE way to save the World, is one song. It matters not whether you are a believer or not for Christmas goes beyond that. It did not happen for an individual, it happened for all. Merry Christmas my Auburn brothers. God is with Us. Emmanuel. May you all know the Joy and the Peace of Christmas.( regardless to where you are a believer or not) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
