From the Pastor's Desk

As the holiday season approaches, it’s easy to get caught up in the lights, gifts, and festivities. While these traditions bring joy, they can sometimes overshadow the true meaning of Christmas. At its heart, Christmas is not just about celebration—it’s about salvation.

Over two thousand years ago, Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem, fulfilling God’s promise of hope and redemption for humanity. His birth was not simply a historical event; it was the beginning of a divine plan to reconcile us to God. The manger reminds us that humility and love are at the center of this season. Jesus came not as a king in a palace, but as a Savior in a stable—showing that God’s love reaches everyone, no matter their status or circumstance.

​

When we say, “Jesus is the reason for the season,” we affirm that Christmas is more than decorations and gifts. It’s a celebration of God’s greatest gift: His Son. This season invites us to reflect on that love, share it with others, and live with gratitude and grace.
