Christmas Eve - Wednesday, December 24, 2025

"This Child, shall be our peace. A hush upon the stable, a humble manger bed. A weary mother stroking her sleeping baby's head. An echo in her mem'ry of ancient prophecies: this Child of Mary's labour, this Child shall be our peace. A flock of sheep awakened, a flood of glorious light, a band of fearful shepherds illumined in the night. The angel voices swelling, their message to release: the Lamb will be our Shepherd, this Child will be our peace. This earthborn Child of heaven, this fleshbound Son of God, this Man who bore our sorrows, this Lamb who shed His blood, He stills our raging anger, He heals our hopeless grief, He calms our frantic worry, He helps our unbelief. Beneath His righteous scepter he makes all war to cease. Come bow the knee before Him. This Christ shall be our peace."
