Savoring the I AM at Christmas Christmas is only a few days away, with its celebration of our Savior, Jesus Christ, who was born in a manger. We rejoice as we remember who he is and all that he has done for us. The first chapter of John tells us of a Savior who came […]
Merry Christmas—the day of rejoicing is here! Hallelujah, Christ has come; Christ died and rose; Christ is coming again! Jesus’ birth was just the beginning of Christ’s work as the Lamb of God.
