The Son of God came into this world thereby showing His love for humankind in a very special way. Jesus is love personified and seeks to be close to His neighbour. He listens and helps others, and heals and blesses them. Two thousand years later, Jesus is still the model of what love should be. And Christmas invites us to reach out to others like Jesus did, to treat them without prejudice, as equals, and to love them. It invites us to celebrate the feast of love with our families and in the divine service on Christmas Day at 10 a.m. in the local congregation.
