Christmas Easter

Christmas is the time of the year when we get to hold You. You are so small and innocent, our newly born Messiah. We cradle You, Gentle Saviour as we celebrate Your coming and Your new beginning.

Easter is the time of the year when You hold us, as we feel Your brokenness at the foot of Your Cross. Kneeling on the ground before You as You pour Your lifeblood out before us, we are weak with shaking at the enormity of Your sacrifice for all of us. This is the time of the year when the Innocent Child reaches down to enfold us, lifts us up again with resurrected life and cradles us in the arms of a brand new beginning.
