It’s natural to think that the way to prevent disappointment is to set lower expectations. The opposite is true with Christmas. If “the most wonderful time of the year” hasn’t always been so wonderful, the solution is not to expect less. Instead, this is the time of year when God teaches us to look for more. On Christmas Eve we see how God teaches us to look for bigger peace. From war between nation to conflict within families, peace often appears absent in our world. Nevertheless, what the angels announced on the night of Jesus’ birth remains true. Because of Jesus’ arrival, the war between the human race and its creator is now over. Through Jesus, there is indeed peace on earth. Glory to God in the highest!
