“Are you ready for Christmas?”
That was the question I was asked most over the previous couple of weeks.
The question reveals our culture’s perspectives of the Christmas season – that everything in this season builds up to a climax which is reached Christmas morning.
For many people, that’s the end of the story. After Christmas morning, they’re ready to pass out from exhaustion, sleep for a week, and move on to the next thing.
A New Chapter
For Christians, Christmas morning isn’t the end of the story. It’s the start of a new chapter.
It’s the day the Light of the world entered our darkness.
It’s the day the Liberator began to free all those enslaved by sin.
It’s the day the King returned to reclaim his kingdom.
And so, on the (days and) night(s) AFTER Christmas…
When your Christmas celebration is over…
When you are ready to continue the work that Jesus began in a humble stable in Bethlehem – bringing light to a dark world, proclaiming forgiveness through our savior, and advancing the kingdom of God…
We will be here to help you live out your mission online in 2026 and beyond.
That it shall not be just a day, But last a lifetime through, The miracle of Christmastime That brings God close to you. -Ann Schultz
