Christmas Day 2009 – Titus 3:4-7

Grace, peace and mercy to you from our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

Imagine a scene where there is brightly coloured paper strewn around the room, a tree sags in the corner and people are searching for batteries whilst others are heading off to prepare the Christmas lunch. At most times of the year we would think this is some form of chaos but at this time of the year we celebrate Christmas with our family and friends.

It won’t be long and Christmas 2009 will be over and sooner or later we will need to pick up the problems and challenges we have put to one side. They will be ready to resume their place as the centre of our attention. Bills will need to be paid, work will need to be done, school work will begin once again – until we prepare to do Christmas all again next year.
