Good morning and Merry Christmas. Wherever you are listening from today and

whatever situation you find yourself in, we know the holidays can be incredibly

restful and joy filled for some while

simultaneously bringing unrest and misery for others. We pray that today

you call to mind the hope that we have in Jesus Christ,

especially in the words of 2 Corinthians 8-9 that says, you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ though he was rich yet for your sake he became poor

So that you by his poverty might become rich

To be of great cheer of this christian poverty might become rich.

To be of great cheer this Christmas, if only, because you know Jesus Christ has overcome the world.

He became poor that we might become rich in him, becoming the sons and daughters of God.
