  Speaker 1: that is the gift of Jesus Christ. Heavenly Father, today

  Speaker 1: gift the world has ever known, the gift of your son,

  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. In a season filled with lights and music
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: and celebration, we take the time to remember that Christmas
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: is not about what's under the tree, but about who
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: came down from heaven for us. Lord, Thank you that
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: you loved us so much. You rat salvation and flesh
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: and sent hope into a hurting world. When darkness covered
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: the earth, You sent light when humanity was lost. You
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: sent us safe when we could not reach you. You
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: came to us born in a manger, humble and holy,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: yet full of divine power. Father, Thank you that Jesus
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: came not for the perfect, before the broken, not for
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: the righteous, but for the sinners. Thank you that he
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: brought peace to trouble hearts, healing to wounded souls, forgiveness
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: to the guilty, and hope to the weary. Because of Jesus,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: chains were broken, mercy was released, and eternity was changed forever. Lord,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: in this Christmas season, help us never to lose sight
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: of the miracle. Jesus is Emmanuel God, with us, with
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: us in our joy and with us in our pain,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: with us in celebration and with us in sorrow, with
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: us when life is full, and with us when hearts
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: feel empty. Father, we thank you that through Christ we
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: have grace instead of guilt, peace instead of fear, purpose
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: instead of confusion, and eternal life instead of separation. Because
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: of Jesus, we are redeemed, We are restored, We are
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: reconciled to you. As we celebrate His birth. God, let
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: our hearts overflow with gratitude. Let our worship rise higher
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: than our worries. Let generosity flow from one person to another.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Let it flow from the love we received. Teach us
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: to reflect Christ, not just in this season, but every
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: day through kindness, through forgiveness, through compassion, and through love. Lord,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: we thank you that the cradle led to the cross,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: that the cross led to resurrection, and because Jesus lives,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: we have hope that will never fad. So today God
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: we rejoice, we give thanks, we worship God, for unto
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: us a child is born. Unto us, a son is given.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: And his name is wonderful. His name is Counselor. He's
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Mighty God, He's everlasting Father, he's our Prince of peace.
• 2:58
