Christmas is the night the world begins again. 

I referenced the song “Better Days” by Goo Goo Dolls in my sermon last Sunday. Take a listen to it again by clicking HERE.   
 
The Bridge and the Chorus go like this: 
 
I wish everyone was loved tonight and we’d somehow stop this endless fight. 
Just a chance that maybe we’ll find better days. 

So take these words, And sing out loud. 
Because everyone, Is forgiven now. 
 
‘Cuz tonight’s the night the world begins again
 
This is the beauty of Christmas. This is the wonder of God born to Mary and birthed in a manger. That on this night, the world does begin again. We talk a lot about resurrection and Easter as being the beginning of new life but I think this song is right. None of the stuff we usually focus on when it comes to Jesus could have happened if it weren’t for this night. Before Jesus could teach us how to love, before Jesus could heal, before Jesus could die on a cross, and be resurrected, before any of that, Jesus had to be born. 
 
Through this miracle and wonder of God on earth, we are filled with hope that Christ is giving us a new way. A way to that shows everyone IS loved. A way that shows ALL is forgiven. 
 
May you rest in the hope of better days this season. May you know that Christ enters into every day, not just Christmas, and that you are loved, and you are forgiven, by his presence here in our lives each and every day. Amen.


Blessings,
