Wonder of Christmas
As we step into this season of gratitude, we’re reminded of God’s goodness and the many reasons we have to give thanks. And as Thanksgiving leads us toward Advent, our hearts turn to the deeper story unfolding around us. Christmas can be a time of year when we embrace the wonder, magic, and mystical essence of the holiday season. Throughout church history, the Advent season has been marked by divine moments because of its impact on our lives. And yet, do we truly embrace the radical truth that Jesus is who He says He is—and that we are part of a beautiful redemptive story that invites us to a level of faith capable of changing the world?
