What is the thought of Christmas? Giving.
What is the hope of Christmas? Living.
What is the joy of Christmas? Love.
No silver or gold is needed for giving,
If the heart is filled with Christmas love,
For the hope of the world is kindly living,
Learned from the joy of God above.
- Laura Hooker (moreillustrations.com)
“The Christmas message is that there is
hope for a ruined humanity - hope of pardon, hope of peace with God, hope of
glory - because at the Father's will Jesus became poor, and was born in a
stable so that thirty years later He might hang on a cross.” - J.I. Packer.
Luke 2:14 (ERV): “Praise God in heaven, and
on earth let there be peace to the people who please him.”
