Dear Friend,

Merry Christmas! Joyeux Noël! Buon Natale! Feliz Navidad! Mele Kalikimaka!

It is the time of year when joy, kindness, and compassion seem to emanate from us all. Not just here in America, but from Christians all over the world. The King who was born in a stable and lay in a lowly manger was sent here for all men and women. Emmanuel was born for you. Emmanuel was born for me. Emmanuel was born for all. He came for those who deny Him, for those who run from Him, and for those who believe He is just a myth. That is the truest demonstration of love. He left His rightful throne and came to a world that does not deserve Him so that we may be saved. That is who we celebrate on December 25. The King has come; prepare ye the way!

Blessings,
