Amen. Well, Merry Christmas and happy birthday to the Lord Jesus Christ.

This is the biggest birthday in the history of the world and we're really really

excited to celebrate it with you. If you've got a Bible go to Luke chapter 2

starting in verse 8 and we're gonna hear the Christmas story again but you know what

there's some things you can hear them over and over and over and over and they just don't get old.

Amen?

Every night when my daughter comes up, says, I love you, daddy, gives me a kiss.

I never think, I've heard this before.

Do you have nothing new? I'm very glad to hear it every time when I walk in the door and my wife

Chris says welcome home best friend I never think to myself same thing every day I wish I got something new I'm very glad to hear it every time.

When you hear that you are loved, when you hear that someone cares for you, when you

hear that someone wants a relationship with you, when you hear that someone

is committed to you, that someone adores you you that someone wants to do life with you that sounds good every time

Amen and that's the whole message in the meaning of Christmas that God the father sent his son to extend loving relationship to us and so every Christmas
