Pastor's Pen
December 2025
"For the wages of sin is death;
but the gift of God is eternal life
through Jesus Christ our Lord."
Romans 6:23
God's gift to us is His Son. Christmas, the word literally means the celebration of Christ, is a great time to recall God's gift to us. Do you remember the joy of being a little child in December? My parents always worked hard to make Christmas Day special. We had our family traditions. We would take time to read the Christmas story even though we were all eager to get to the presents. We would make a special breakfast. We would take time to open gifts. It was a day filled with special memories not because of the expensive gifts but because of the rich memories.
Do you remember the joy when you opened God's gift of forgiveness for the first time? Do you recall clearly that day when you knew that your sins were forgiven, you had eternal life, and you were saved? Was a weight lifted off your shoulders? Was your outlook transformed? You had hope. That hope in Jesus Christ is the good tidings that Christians proclaim at this Christmas season. Tell your family, tell your friends. Encourage others to join you in receiving this gift! They too can have God's gift of His Son and eternal life.
