God is with us

Dec 19, 2014

In this time of the year as the birth of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, is celebrated around the world, it can be difficult to find joy because of the terrible suffering and events in the world and the misery that comes with them. However bad the world may be, we should try to remember and focus on the fact that God came to earth as man bringing the offer of peace and salvation to all. It is when we focus on this and pray from our hearts and souls that the Prince of Peace will reign supreme in all lives that we will find joy in the certainty that no matter how bad the world may get The Lord, Jesus, will bring the victory of His eternal love to mankind. Let us not despair over the evil in the world instead let us celebrate that God in His divine love came to earth to rescue mankind and that He will save us from the fires of hell. The baby Jesus, so small, so vulnerable, so sweet and so tender looked out upon the world as He lay in the manger and called out to mankind ‘Do not fear, I am, here with you and for you’. Today He is still with us and here for us. Today He looks out upon the world and calls out to all mankind to live in peace in Him and He asks all of His followers to bring His message of peace and love into the turmoil of the world so that through them mankind can find sanctuary and salvation in Him. This Christmas let us be the messengers of peace. Let us be the bringers of love. Let us be the wise men bringing the knowledge to all that God is with us, God loves us and God will not let evil triumph. Truly this is the joyful message the world needs to hear and be reminded of.

May you and your families have a Blessed and Holy Christmas full of joy and peace.

Merry Christmas,
