I thought this was an amazing message for this Christmas. What a weary world we are living in right now! Many of us have seen or experienced more stress, tension, and suffering in the last year than ever before. When Jesus was born under less than ideal circumstances two thousand years ago He was born into a weary world, a weary world where many were experiencing similar tribulations to what we are experiencing today. The trials and suffering the world is experiencing now are real, just the way the trials and suffering faced back then were real. Two thousands years ago there was a thrill of hope in the midst of weariness. That hopefulness was in the birth of Jesus Christ. We can still hold on to that hopefulness in our world today. Every new day with Christ brings the hope to keep going. Rejoice in the love and promises of Jesus this Christmas!
From O Holy Night:
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees; O hear the Angel voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born
Truly He taught us to love one another;
His law is love and His Gospel is Peace
And in His name, all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we
Let all within us Praise His Holy name
Christ is the Lord; O praise His name forever!
Merry Christmas from my family to yours!
