This evening we sang and laughed and shared a meal together in Iringa with some good friends, thinking of the birth of Jesus and the message of peace that he brings to us all. The children took part in this nativity scene as part of the service.
Recently at the Secondary School in Kilolo someone read the verses from Isaiah "How lovely on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news; proclaiming peace, announcing news of happiness - our God reigns" (Is 52:7). That is the Christmas message, and there's another place where it says "it is close to you, not far away, in your heart and in your mouth".
How amazing that we have this message so close to us. There's no need to go overseas to find it out! Have a look at Deuteronomy 30:12-14, and Romans 10:6-8. Happy Christmas right where you are!
