Merry Christmas Peter
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders, and He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6
Let us celebrate this beautiful truth! Let us rejoice in the fact that Jesus came to earth to shine His light on the lost, to serve the faithful and to ultimately save us all from sin. Let us praise our Heavenly Father today (and every day) for humbly leaving his glory-filled, all-powerful seat in heaven to live among us, coming to earth as a small baby to parents of little means.
He came to show us how to live in a way that is pleasing to God (1 Peter 2:21); He came to understand our struggles so that He could fully comfort us in time of need (2 Corinthians 1: 3-5); He came to teach us about His Father (John 14:9); He came to rescue us (Romans 6:23); He came so that we would not fear (Isaiah 41:10).
So, while we are celebrating Christmas today through the acts of giving and receiving gifts, spending valuable time with loved ones and maybe even enjoying our favorite breakfast casserole in pajamas, let’s continue to let our hearts sing His praises. Let us rejoice that “This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.” 1 John 4:9
Merry Christmas to you Peter.
Mele Kalikimaka with the fondest of memories growing up in Hilo and at Christmas being able to look out our large picture window viewing the snow capped Mauna Kea.
Merry Christmas. Too bad we have no history pieces of a Missionary Christmas!
Mele Kalikimaka Peter. And a sincere mahalo for all your posts this year. As someone who recently relocated from the mainland, it has been a tremendous resource for helping me learn the history of our new home.
Mahalo for this and all your other posts. I look forward to them every morning. You have given us a great a lasting gift. Aloha nui loa.
Mahalo for this Peter.
Your pieces give us historical perspective. I’m very grateful.
Aloha Richard
