We live in a society of extremes. Although there are many lights, people still live in “darkness”. There are frenzied shoppers in financial bondage, while others do not observe Christmas, insisting that it is wrong because of all the ado. Still others are out buying gifts because “they have to”.
For many people Christmas is a time to give gifts, hang lights, and gather with family. In the midst of the fun they forget that Jesus is the greatest gift of Christmas.

The stories of Jesus have been preserved for us, His birth, childhood, baptism, temptation, ministry, teachings, suffering, death, and resurrection.
