Merry Christmas!

Oswald Chambers wrote, "We have to realize that we cannot earn or win anything from God; we must either receive it as a gift or do without it."
Whether Christmas hides just around the corner ,or Resurrection Sunday is two seasons away, or no holiday or holy day stares at me from the calendar, God's goodness to me in His Son Jesus Christ remains the gift that keeps on giving.
Whether your Christmas is tainted with tragedy or resplendent with joy, I hope you can hold onto this truth: "For our sake he (God) made him (Christ Jesus) to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God" (2 Corinthians 5:21, ESV). Soli Deo Gloria.
