Dear Friends,
We
are writing you to express our gratitude for your help given to the people and
families of our church. Both the Christmas packages and greeting cards were
received with joy. A few members from the Reformed Women’s Club of Breaza
brought the cards to the elderly and in Toldal and Onuca the people received
them together with the Christmas packages. Everybody was touched by Your
kindness and that you were thinking about them even in these trying times.See the pictures right here.
With
a few words from 2 Corinthians 9:15 we want to wish you a Blessed Christmas and
a Happy New Year!
„Thanks be to God for his
indescribable gift!”
God’s Gift
Christians
celebrate Christmas all over the world every year. This holiday is an
opportunity for people to surprise each other with presents. Sadly for a lot of
people this is the only meaning of the Christmas celebration: all the goods on
the table and the gifts. Only a few celebrate the true meaning of this day, the
birth of Jesus Christ. Dear reader, which group are you part of? Do you praise
God for his „unimaginable gift”, or do you just celebrate yourself transforming
the holy meaning of Christmas into a holiday without Jesus? What is more
important to you, Him who was born into this world as God’s greatest gift to
people, or all the things this world has to offer without the presence of God?
God sent his Son as a Saviour, so that we could get forgiveness for our sins
and eternal life through Him! The birth of Jesus Christ directs our attention to
His mercy and love.
All
the gifts and hearty meal do not grant us true happiness. We need more than
that: relationship with God. How can this relationship between God and
ourselves form? The starting point is to accept His gift. His gift beyond
words, Him who became one of us humans on Christmas Eve, our Saviour. The gifts
we surprise each other with, offer us an opportunity to remember God’s greatest
gift to humanity: Jesus Christ. All those who believe and let Him into their
hearts will have a blessed Christmas with true joy. We pray that you are one of
them!
Many greetings from the
members of the Churches in Breaza, Toldal and Onuca,Comlod!
Best regards,
Ildikó and Eduard Szép
