When a priest named Zechariah received word that he and his wife would have a baby in their very old age, he simply couldn’t believe it.  Despite his unbelief, God had a plan for that child to prepare the way for Jesus and declare that He is the Lamb of God who takes away our sin.  When we look at Christmas, we are faced with the same question that Zechariah wrestled with: will we believe what God says is true?

When the nation of Israel was at its darkest time, the Lord made a promise of deliverance and salvation through a child yet to be born.

Or will we stay in darkness, ignoring the lightGod has provided? Will you live with hope, or keep living like this is all there is?
