1. God the Father sent us – his wayward, sinful, and naughty children – his own series of Father Christmas Letters.
  2. O weary ones, O long-time waiting and watching ones, O ones who are late to the game, he is your rest this busy season, and always.
  3. We will not become hopeless because the Lord is with us.
  4. We ache in eager anticipation as we see Christ in action and as we take in the snapshots of his life, death, and resurrection.
  5. The reason that God’s commandments are not burdensome is that Jesus has fulfilled them.
  6. Both now and forever, the bruised and crucified Lord nailed to a cross is our assurance of deliverance.
  7. Every day is a Sabbath for Christians. Every day is the day the Lord has made. Every day is a day to find rest in Christ.
  8. Righteousness before God is possessed only by grace and that through the currency of faith.
  9. The love mentioned in 1 John 4:15-21 fourteen times (!) is a love that needs no apology but is determined at all times to sacrifice for the other.
  10. Logos theology is a theology of presence without division. It is a way of unification, of which the incarnation is the greatest visible example.
  11. Sometimes in hanging on to our useless guilt, we are idolaters. We believe our sin or conscience is more powerful than our God.
