God Came Near

First, Christmas brings faith, hope, and love as God enters our world. Then, John 1:14 NKJV shows Jesus living with us as flesh. Also, Matthew 1:23 NKJV calls Him Immanuel, meaning God with us. Next, during seasonal holidays, we choose forgiveness, keep hope, and pursue justice daily. For example, we pray before meals and thank Jesus for every gift. Finally, we invite lonely friends to church so they feel God’s love.

Love That Gives

Moreover, John 3:16 NKJV explains God gave His Son because He loved the world. Besides, 2 Corinthians 9:15 NKJV reminds us to thank God for His gift. Consequently, seasonal holidays become practice time for forgiveness, hope, and justice. For instance, we donate coats, and we share meals with families who struggle. Therefore, we buy fewer extras and give more to shelters and missions. Eventually, our kindness points classmates to Jesus more than decorations do.

Hope in the Savior

However, Luke 2:11 NKJV announces the Savior’s birth to ordinary shepherds. Still, Isaiah 9:6 NKJV names Him Wonderful Counselor and Prince of Peace. Meanwhile, Micah 5:2 NKJV points to Bethlehem, so we trust God’s plan. Likewise, seasonal holidays can renew hope when life feels dark. Then, we practice justice by defending the bullied and welcoming the newcomer. Consequently, forgiveness grows when we speak truth kindly and let grudges go.

Peace and Joy in Daily Life

Furthermore, Luke 2:14 NKJV calls us to seek peace on earth. After that, Luke 2:10 NKJV fills us with joy that reaches all people. In contrast, loud shopping can steal hope during seasonal holidays. Instead, we choose forgiveness quickly and apologize before anger grows. As a result, we build justice at home when we share chores fairly. At last, we pray together, and Jesus guards our hearts with peace.

Christmas Brings, Faith, Hope and Love

In summary, Christmas brings faith, hope, and love when we follow Jesus every day. Most importantly, Matthew 1:21 NKJV says Jesus saves His people from sins. Going forward, we live seasonal holidays with forgiveness, hope, and justice in our choices. For this reason, Matthew 25:40 NKJV teaches we serve Jesus when we serve others. To conclude, Luke 2:20 NKJV urges us to praise God like the shepherds did. Finally, we share this message at school, and we shine Christ’s love after Christmas ends.
