Summary
I think of the first word associated with that first Christmas, the word terror. If we're going to be honest with one another, if we're going to be honest with one another, we have a tendency not to treasure and not to ponder the word of God. See, that's one who can reflect on what Jesus Christ has done, can reflect on the promises of God, can treasure them and ponder them in His heart and that manifests in a peace and a joy. The love of God keeps coming, he keeps coming with His word, he keeps coming with His word so that we'll treasure it and ponder it, that we'll protect it and reflect on it. He keeps coming with His word so that amidst all of the circumstances, it's the word that bubbles up as we reflect on what is going on in our lives. And we're here and then we're there, treasure that and ponder that, love it of God, treasure and ponder that Jesus is Emmanuel, Emmanuel, God with us, God with us.
