Devotions

At the center of the Christmas story is the birth of Jesus, the hope of the world. Over two thousand years ago, in a little humble town under a sky illuminated by a guiding star, the long-awaited Messiah, the Son of God and the Savior of the world, finally arrived. Praised by angel choirs and witnessed by lowly shepherds, this newborn babe lying in a manger was the fulfillment of ancient prophecies. But Jesus’ arrival was so much more than just a historical event. The birth of Jesus, the Christ, changed everything. Hope was born. A hope echoing through all eternity. A hope that rings in our hearts still today. A hope that’s the song of our soul.
