A Savior has been born to us

When I walk Liam to Kindergarten or  just go to the town I always like to take the path that goes through the graveyard. I like that way for two particular reasons, one is that there is no better reminder for our bodies mortality, and I in contrary to many other people like to be reminded of that. But its mostly because of a big stone cross on the other end of the graveyard that I like this walk so much.
A cross, with Jesus Christ on it is a really common sight  to see in predominantly catholic Germany, but under the cross are written some wonderful words that bring me joy every single time I read them.

"I believe that my Redeemer lives and that I will rise again on judgment day" is what it says and I can think of nothing more encouraging and hope-bringing to read, because I believe with all my heart that Jesus is my Redeemer. And I believe that he lives. What could be better than that?
In the Bible it is written that we all will rise on judgment day. God will either be your Judge or your Savior, the Choice is yours.
I hope this Christmas you will have some time to reflect on the true meaning of Christmas and the words that have been spoken so long ago, but are just as current today as they were then.

Luke 2:11-12

11 Today your Savior was born in the town of David. He is Christ, the Lord. 12 This is how you will know him: You will find a baby wrapped in pieces of cloth and lying in a feeding box.”


Merry Christ-mas to you!

i will attach a very moving video of a person that is far more able to talk about the hope that lies in trusting Jesus.
