Dear MGI students, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Christmas really lives in us when Christ is alive within us. An old time preacher, John R. Rice, once said, “You can never truly enjoy Christmas until you can look up into the Father’s face and tell Him you have received His Christmas gift.” Make sure it is true, declare it openly, “I receive the first gift of Christmas, Jesus Christ, into my heart and for my life.”

And so then a Christmas blessing shared with you: “God grant you the light of Christmas, which is faith; the warmth of Christmas, which is love; the radiance of Christmas which is purity; the righteousness of Christmas, which is justice; the belief in Christmas, which is truth; and the all of Christmas, which is Christ.” Wilda English

Happy Birthday, Jesus—let us sing You a song of praise!
