"Behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all people; for there is born to you this day a Savior, who is Christ the Lord." In these words you clearly see that he is born for us. He does not simply say, Christ is born, but to you is born; neither does he say, I bring glad tidings, but to you I bring glad tidings of great joy. Furthermore, this joy was not to remain in Christ, but it shall be to all people.—Sermons of Martin Luther
This year take the joy of Jesus' birth into 2018 and throughout the year, remembering that His mercy, grace and love will sustain you through whatever life may bring.
