A Christmas devotion from the Holy Land, resonating with the transformative melody: 'On Christmas night, hatred vanishes; the earth blooms; war is buried; love is born.' Join us in embracing divine gifts of hope and God's presence, united in a universal call for peace

The good news this Christmas is that the stories recorded in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke are stories of hope for the hopeless. Their message is clear: God comes to save, rescue, and redeem his people. He comes to collide with the powers of political, military, and economic structures that oppress the poor to bring them freedom and peace.
