We all face seasons when life feels uncertain, when the people and circumstances we have depended on slip away, and the future looks daunting. In those moments, we often try to find peace by forcing things to change. But lasting peace doesn’t come from getting life under control; it comes from knowing that Jesus holds our lives securely. We can endure today’s heartaches because our future is secure and our deepest hope rests in the One who will never abandon us. Even our darkest seasons will end, and sorrow will not have the final word!

But the Christmas story doesn’t end in humiliation. Christ was raised from the dead and is now seated at the right hand of the Father in glory; and one day, every knee will bow before Him and every tongue will confess that He is Lord of all!
