The Deepest Reality of Christmas
Christmas is about so much more than what our culture has made it to be. It’s about the unraveling and reversing of the curse. It’s about the coming of God to us in love and humility. That’s the real gift and the deepest reality of Christmas. Bless you all today as you reflect on these things.
Peace,
Greg and the ReKnew Team
