Beloved brothers and sisters in Christ,
During these blessed days of Christmas, let us once again turn our hearts and our eyes toward the great hope about which we read:
“Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him …”
(Revelation 1:7)
This season of Advent preparation, now fulfilled in the joy of Christmas, reminds us that Christ has already come and that He will come again in His glory. He humbled Himself and was born in a manger to save us. Today, as we prepare to celebrate His birth, let us come to Him with repentance, faith, and joyful expectation, so that we may be renewed in faith, enlightened by His light, and strengthened in heart and mind by His peace.
May this Christmas be the beginning of our spiritual awakening.
May the light of Christ dispel the darkness around us.
May His peace dwell in our families, and may we remain watchful and expectant with faith, hope, and love.
The Lord has not only come, but He has also promised to come again. This time He will come in His glory to establish His Kingdom in righteousness and to grant eternal joy to His people. Let us live continually in expectation of His coming:
“He who testifies to these things says, ‘Surely I am coming soon.’
Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!”
(Revelation 22:20)
May these words be the guide of our lives, the foundation of our faith, and the daily expectation of our hearts.
I wish you a blessed Christmas and a New Year filled with His grace.
Christ is born and revealed,
Good news of great joy to you and to us all,
Blessed is the revelation of Christ.
With love and prayer,
Rev. Hovhannes Hovsepyan
