Word of the Father now in flesh appearing

Communication is an important and essential ingredient in any relationship. There must be communication between husband and wife; parents and children, employers and employees, fellow church members, neighbours the list goes on. Failure to communicate leads to tensions, misunderstandings, frictions and conflicts. There are many ways to communicate and words are the most common vehicle used. And words are powerful. Our words can bring inspiration, hope, comfort; on the other hand words and hurt and break relationships.

Christmas is coming. The bells are ringing, carols are heard in shopping plazas, our Salvation Army band is playing outside the big departmental store called Tangs. Let me share a secret - Two Tang sisters worship at our William Booth Corps. A grandson of C K Tang also worships with us in fact he sometimes reads the scriptures in the meeting. You can see and listen to our band there every Tuesday and Saturday at the entrance of Tangs. We are communicating the message of Christmas.

Christmas is about God communicating with us. "In the beginning was the Word. The Word was made flesh and came to dwell among us. The word is Jesus Christ.

We sing, "Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing. O come let us adore Him Christ the Lord"
