I LOVE surprises!  I LOVE presents!  Christmas is about both.  It always has been.  When we celebrate the birth of Jesus, we are celebrating the greatest present ever given to this darkened world and it was definitely a surprise. 

Who would have ever dreamed that God would become one of us?  Yet, that’s what He did. 

• The one who was there before our world was created
• The one who knows where the lightening is stored
• The one who has seen the depths of the oceans
• The one who has traveled to the edge of the universe
• The one through whom all things were made
• The one through whom all things are sustained
• The eternal Son of God

Jesus

…became one of His own creations.  He took on human form and voluntarily limited the full use of His unstoppable powers so that He could rescue us all from our fallen position with God the Father.  No wonder the angels announced this message to the shepherds that night so long ago:

Luke 2:10-11 I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.

Merry Christmas!  From all of us here at HVCC, we hope that this will be the best time of the year for you!
