As we prepare to celebrate Christmas this year, we cannot help but recognize the deep divides and profound conflicts within and around us. Our world is broken by sin, human greed, apathy, hate, and deceit. Now more than ever, we affirm our need for the Lord, for God to indeed be born in our hearts and dwell in us so that we may bear witness to Him in our broken world. He indeed comes among us, our Emmanuel, to be with us and accompany us in our journey, leading us towards healing, reconciliation, and justice.
