Ecclesiastes 3:1
Parallel to Christmas, you will celebrate the “first” season of many others to come. For example, this Christmas season is your first as a married couple. You got the job. You entered retirement. Congratulations to you and many others for your joyous first season!
Yet, some of you are in a challenging, first season: You have a broken heart. You may be fearful of what is ahead. You feel alone.
No matter what season you are going through, make a conscious effort to keep the story of Christmas in the front of your mind.
- Jesus Christ was born, lived, and died. But because he rose again, his ever-present, Holy Spirit is alive in you(1 Corinthians 15:1-8).
- Jesus vowed never to leave you alone (John 14:16-18).
- He promised to lead you in every way (John 14:26).
Have a blessed Christmas season. We pray you will feel God’s perfect peace as you remember the gospel story throughout this and every “season” of your life.
