To us, the ancient story has a terribly modern ring. Powerful rulers determined to do anything to preserve their power — even promoting and funding the shedding of innocent blood. Earthly kings worshiped as gods. Peace proclaimed on high while violence stalks the streets. But out of all of this is the greatest message ever given to man: God is with us. The miracle is that He didn’t just come down from His heavenly home thousands of years ago. He comes today — to live with us, suffer with us, and- praise God — to save us.

At the end of an overwhelming year, we can take comfort in the fact that this helpless baby, who came in relative obscurity, will soon return as a triumphant Savior that no one will miss! He won’t just be a King among kings- He will be the King of Kings and Lord of Lords! And unlike the men of this world, He will reign forever and ever! I pray that we all embrace the simplicity of the season and rejoice in the Love reborn each day. From everyone at FRC, we wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

from everyone at the Klan, to you and yours! Hallmark twinkles!
