Editor’s Letter Celebrate the REASON! It’s Christmastime which, for many, means it’s time to prepare for the busyness and joy this season brings—from pulling out the Christmas tree and decorations to shopping for gifts and enjoying good food, fun and fellowship with family and friends. But we realize this year may not be as busy as in the past. The COVID-19 pandemic has turned our lives upside down. We’ve gone from working in the office to working from home; from socializing to isolation from family and friends; to even having church services virtually online. However, this Christmas doesn’t have to be a disappointment if we recognize Jesus as the reason for the season. More than before, we should be mindful that Jesus’ birth represents how, because of His great love for us, God poured out His grace, mercy and favor on all mankind. John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” If you don’t travel, visit or entertain family and friends this Christmas, you can still make memories. Pull out your smartphone, take selfies and share them with others. Or do conference calls, using FaceTime® or Zoom. If they are local, visit family and friends by driving by and sharing a wave. Just make sure you remember the importance of the moment—that God loved you so much, He gave His only Son so you might have a renewed relationship with Him. He gave His best, so let’s offer our best adoration and thankfulness. I hope you enjoy this month’s issue, and the encouraging articles from contributors like KCM CEO Pastor George Pearsons. In his article, titled “Jesus: The Final Sacrificial Lamb,” he reminds us that “as soon as Jesus was born, He was destined to die for your sins and mine—and then be raised from the dead so that we could be raised up with Him. He took our place so that we could live eternally with Him.” That’s the true REASON for the season! Have a blessed and very Merry Christmas, and look forward to a Happy New Year! Ronald C.
