I first though about The Pain of Loss. Then it occurred to me that I frequently think about pain, suffering and loss. However, rather thinking about the negative side of life, wouldn't it be better to focus on the positives of life. Isn't that the message of Christ?
Of Jesus, the angel said,
Luke 2:10 "But the angel said to them, Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people;"
The world is in the midst of the celebration of the season of Christmas. However, the true message of Christ's birth has been lost in the midst of parties, gift-giving and all that the world has to offer to try to make this season meaningful.
The true meaningfulness of Christmas is found in the following verses of Luke Ch. 2:11-14 - "for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger. And suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased.”
Without Christ in one's life, there is no meaningful, lasting peace.
