Anticipating Christmas
Dec 22, 2024 • David Garringer
The Christmas season stirs anticipation in our hearts—a time of preparation and longing that reflects the ultimate reason for the season: the birth of Jesus Christ. This anticipation reminds us of the freedom from sin He offers, the reconciliation we gain through a renewed relationship with God, and the eternal hope of salvation He secures. Through passages in Isaiah, Luke, and Revelation, we are shown a Savior who liberates us from spiritual blindness and bondage, calls us to humility and faith, and prepares a glorious future where justice and joy prevail. Christmas invites us to reflect, repent, and rejoice in the profound gift of Jesus and His transformative love.
