Christmas

by Kory Plockmeyer

The snow is falling, Christmas lights are hung, and the advent candles burn brightly each Sunday morning. Amidst the hustle and bustle of Christmas parties, snowstorms, and final exams, we affirm one solid truth: Christ is born!

As we wind down the semester and look ahead to the coming of the New Year, I pray that each and every day of our lives we would let the Christ candle shine brightly, for its light is the Light of the world. Christ is born, let the earth rejoice!

Even as we celebrate the birth of our Savior, let us never forget that the story does not end with the manger. Following the manger we look forward to the cross, the empty tomb, and ascension on the clouds, and, ultimately, the return in glory. As we gaze with joy on the manger, I pray that we will look beyond the nativity scene to the day when every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord!

Merry Christmas from the Kerux Staff!
