A message from the series "COVID-19." Every Christmas these verses are read in most churches around the world, but what do they mean? To whom are they given? What is the need that demanded such a great promise? If we are not careful we hear the verses and are satisfied with their apparent meaning without knowing the greater significance.
When studying the Bible one of the most important questions to answer is what did these verses mean to the original hearers? This is true of these verses as well. Let us now look at the historical situation that these precious words of Christmas were spoken.

CloseA year ago, would you ever have imagined that the world would be as it is this Christmas? Masks. Restrictions. Sickness. Fear. Financial crisis. And still so many unanswered questions. Do you ever have those moments where you look around and sense, deep inside, that “Life is not supposed to be like this.” It wasn´t always like this. In the beginning God created our world and everything about it was good. It was Shalom. Not just Shalom meaning peace. It was true and complete Shalom. It was life as it was intended to be. There was no shame, no guilt, no fear, and no hate. Everything was right. Right with nature, right with each other, and right with God. Shalom.
