“Be not afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of a great joy which will come to all the people; for to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” (Luke 2:10-11)
In tumultuous times such as these, when the future of our country and the world appears uncertain and neighbors are turned against one another, Christmas is a welcome and timely reminder to “be not afraid.” Amidst wars, hatred, and division, the birth of Christ is the light in the darkness that gives us reason to hope for a brighter future. We have reason to not only hope, but rejoice, with the knowledge that God sent His only Son into the world as one of us to redeem us. May we take this season of hope and joy to remember God’s love for us and in imitation of His divine example, strive to share His love with our neighbors.
On behalf of the whole CPAC organization, have a blessed and Merry Christmas!
