Faith Community Church Of Hopkinton

Five hundred years pass between the end of the last book in the Old Testament and the Christmas story. These are centuries where God's people remain faithful but His silence is deafening. When God finally did speak, it was through the life of Christ. God's silence is broken by words woven into a human life. Suddenly the God who seemed distant is near. You can see Him in Christ's deeds, hear Him in Christ's words, feel Him through Christ's touch. This child born at Christmas is the gift of God's presence, manifest in the form of a child who would be a Savior. In our present world, God can seem distant and silent as well. Christmas reminds us that the gift of His presence is still available to us. We can experience it through Christ - we can discover the gift of His presence in a way that will bring freedom, life and joy.
