Part 2 of the series Christmas Is for Everyone

It’s easy to look at the Christmas cards on your Christmas tree and think that the families in it are happy and joyful. But what we can’t see is the pain, loss, and grief that’s inside the hearts of the family members. Their Christmas tree may be up and the lights are twinkling, but inside they are weary, hurting, and grieving. Perhaps you and your members can relate to this. The truth is, Jesus’ family tree was messy—filled with people who were grieving, estranged, marginalized, limping, wounded, and scarred. And his family tree reflects all of humanity. In this message by Ann Voskamp, you and your members will discover that whatever family you come from is the kind of family that Jesus came from, and is the kind of family Jesus came for.
