Merry Christmas, Disciples. This is your General Minister and President, Terri Hord Owens here to wish you a blessed Christmas holiday as we celebrate the birth of Jesus the one whom we confess as the Son of God, Lord and Savior of the world I pray that your day is filled with all the joy that God gives us through Jesus.
The world must be different for those of us who follow Jesus. So, how will your life be different? How will you be different because of Christ? The one who was broken through to be a part of humanity, to be with us, to love us, to set an example for us because of this Holy One, we must be new creatures. There are no limits to God’s love, and we rejoice in the new covenant that we have with God we have between God and God’s creation. That is revealed through Jesus. The new covenant that Jesus establishes that the table of the Lord, because of Christ we are new and the world will indeed be new if we fully live into our own discipleship. If we can’t imagine, just as God’s love is limitless, ff we could get inside God’s imagination and see the world, the way Jesus saw the world, to love the way Jesus loved. What a gift Jesus is and what a gift each of you are and can be to the world.
So may the fullness of all that God has given you be manifest today and in the New Year in all that you do Merry Christmas and may your New Year be filled with God’s limitless, love and joy unspeakable. Remember, God loves you and so do I.
