It truly is the most wonderful time of the year. A time to celebrate and a time to reflect. I’ve been doing some advent reading with the family this season and it has been so good to remind ourselves of not just the story of Christmas but also the entire redemptive plan of God leading up to Christ’s coming. It truly is the greatest news that brings the greatest joy for all people: that Savior has come to rescue us.

And not just to rescue us but to give us a real, tangible hope and joy in a weary, sin-worn world. And that is what we need. What our families need. What our patients need. And what the world around us needs. Gospel hope. Gospel joy. C.H. Spurgeon captured this well when he said:

---

“Look! Here is the subject of your joy. The God who made you, and against whom you have offended, has come down from heaven and taken upon himself your nature that he might save you. He has come in the fullness of his glory and the infinity of his mercy that he might redeem you. Do you not welcome this news? What! Will not your hearts be thankful for this? Were it not for this divine Savior, your life here would have been wretched, and your future existence would have been endless woe. Oh, I pray you adore the incarnate God, and trust in him. Then you will bless the Lord for delivering you from the wrath to come, and as you lay hold of Jesus and find salvation in his name, you will turn your songs to his praise, and exult with sacred joy.”

I encourage you to be joy-bringers and hope-bringers to all those with whom you interact this Christmas season. Yes, take time to rest and recharge from the daily routine of work and life. Enjoy time with family and friends but also fill your heart and soul with the incomprehensible gift of God with us so that you can be a beacon of God’s love and mercy to all people. Merry Christmas!!
