Merry Christmas Beloved TCC Family!
Christmas has always been a cherished time in the Torres household. Every year, as we celebrate and give thanks for the gift of God in Christ, we are also reminded of the tremendous gift God has given us in you. Over the years it has been an honor to see the Lord move through you and in you in so many ways. You are an example for us, and a reminder to us of the most precious gift ever given.
In Christmas we celebrate the great lengths our Father has taken to bring reconciliation. Our great God loves us so deeply that the very blood of His only begotten son was shed so that we might become the sons and daughters of God. In an age where enmity abounds and hatred grows, the people of God stand for the gospel of Jesus Christ, the good news that God loves his enemies! His goal is not the condemnation of those who are against Him, but rather a rescuing, redeeming, restoring, reconciling, creation-remaking relationship with all humanity—even those who stand against Him. In this season of the soul, may we be reminded of, and Praise God for, His love! Where would we be without it?!
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. ~ Isaiah 53:6
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. ~ John 3:16-17
May we be, in this season, ambassadors, examples, living epistles of this glorious gospel in a world that so desperately needs…Good News.
