Matthew 2: 13-18
The true story of Christmas is a rescue plan — a plan executed by God to save everything, including all of us. The same God who heard the cries of people so long ago hears our cries today. Jesus is the ultimate fulfillment of God’s promises, and will redeem us even from the most devastating circumstances.

Christmas radically upends all the broken things of this world and gives us what we are truly longing for…if only we are able to see it.
