Discipleship Resources - December 3, 2020
CHBC,
As December has arrived I am seeing Christmas lights, nativity scenes, and hearing Christmas Carols. I have to admit that I love this time of year! The extra lights, the festive and sentimental music, and the greater amount of simple pleasantries between strangers bring a joy to my heart. But even greater than those things is the cause to reflect more upon the Incarnation. Remembering again that God came to us in the Son as a fully-human person in order to rescue us helps me treasure Christ and the gospel more. The fact that it is heard in the songs, seen in yard displays, placed on greeting cards, and heard in Scripture readings for the whole month keeps me from escaping the genuine hope found only in the gospel. I can only pray that these resources will help you as well.
