Bernette Bernard, Bridges Church
On behalf of Bridges Church, I would like to wish everyone a very Happy Christmas.
There is a real ‘Christmassy’ feeling around the shops of Cambridge, with window displays enticing us to come and purchase gifts for family and friends.
I particularly noticed the wooden trees in the main street of town. They have been decorated and painted by school children and they are a bit of a ‘window’ into what Christmas may represent to them – decorations, Santa, gifts and holidays.
Although these things are nice, there was one tree in particular that stood out as it boldly states “Jesus is the reason for the Season”.
This is so often forgotten, and in many cases, people don’t even know the real meaning of Christmas.
God sent His son Jesus, the most precious gift to all who will receive Him.
Unlike other gifts, this gift will last into eternity. Jesus said “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”
There is a hope, peace and purpose that we can only find in Him.
This Christmas I hope you will take some time to reflect on the real meaning of Christmas, and find Christ in a personal way. – Bernette Bernard.
