A THOUGHT FROM PASTOR DAVE
Remember how magical Christmas was when you were a kid? Kids just have a way of seeing that is different than adults. Countless Christmas movies depict kids as able to see things that adults simply cannot see - from Santa to elves and reindeer. The common thread? Belief is the key to sight.
Perhaps your eyesight is 20/20, but our spiritual sight is far more limited. Who a person really is, the pain of their past, what is really going on in their present, or their potential in the future. Our eyes are incredible creations, but they stop short of being able to show us feelings, experiences, and the spiritual realm. And yet, we often doubt what they cannot show. Jesus came to open the eyes of the blind. To show us who God is, who we are, and what God is doing in our life and the world around us. This Christmas, may you believe - and may Jesus open your eyes to see God, yourself, and the world as they truly are.
