Christmas Greetings, Both Merry and Happy!

Both the joy and meaning of Christmas are amplified and magnified
when Christ's nativity is set within the larger Gospel story. Two anci-
ent creeds found in the New Testament set Jesus Christ's birth with-
in the recognition and declaration of all that God has been doing
through Him.

We believe in the Gospel,
promised long ago through the prophets,
written in the Holy Scriptures.

We believe in God's Son,
our Lord Jesus Christ:
as to his humanity,
born a descendant of David;
as to his divinity,
shown with great power to be the Son of God
by his raising from death.
Amen
(Romans 1)


Let us proclaim the mystery of our faith:

We believe in one Lord Jesus Christ-
he was revealed in the flesh,
attested by the Spirit,
seen by apostles,
proclaimed to the nations,
believed in throughout the world,
and taken up to glory.
Amen.
(I Timothy 3)

If you live on this side of the 'Pond'- Happy Christmas!
If you live on the other side- Merry Christmas!
Christmas blessings to you and yours this Christmas season.
