Look back on it in appreciation

We don’t have to look very far back in the year that is ending to be reminded of God’s undeserved love. In fact we really only have to look back one week. A week ago tonight was Christmas Eve. We were reminded that Christ was born to live the holy life we have not lived and to die under the just punishment for our sins. That is the clearest and most complete reminder of God’s kindness and love for us. We rejoice that we have had the privilege to once again celebrate his birthday and speak about his great love for us.
