Looking Forward to Christmas

Our Christmas series is titled “Looking Forward to Christmas”. It has us looking back to Jesus’ arrival and looking forward to His return.

Christmas gives us the opportunity to look back to what happened in Bethlehem over 2,000 years ago, that arrival of a baby named Jesus, and how it has changed history forever.

As Christians, we have weighed up the evidence and we are convinced that Jesus was who he said he was, God incarnate, the infinite One who limited Himself so that we could be rescued. For this reason, Christmas time shouldn’t be a time of only looking back, we should also look forward.

We can look forward to the promise that Jesus has made us: that He will come back and when He does, He will renew the world. Jesus will bring justice and show mercy to those who have put their trust in him. For us, this time of year is a time of great celebration and great hope because we are looking forward to another Christmas when Jesus will return.
