Merry Christmas. Thank you for joining us for a few moments today as we look to God's word. Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, know that this hope - this hope promised long ago, fulfilled in the birth of a baby in Bethlehem 2,000 years ago - a baby who would bring peace, who would rescue his people and set them free - this hope is for you
