“Christmas has a deeper significance to followers of Jesus.
It’s not all about the gifts underneath Christmas trees
or the elaborate meals served in extravagantly decorated homes.
Christmas is the season of Immanuel.
We celebrate the good news that He is near,
that He cares for us, and that He transforms lives.
His presence was the greatest present God gave mankind.
May we be present carriers of that presence!”
Katherine J. Walden, Dare to Call Him Friend
