Instead of “crushing” someone this holiday season, let’s focus on the Messiah and extend His grace, even during difficult interactions with friends or family.

The Jewish people long awaited for the Messiah, yet He was crucified. How did “away in a manger” become “away with Him”? And is Jesus “unto us” or “not for me”?

Is there a connection between Hanukkah and Christmas? Absolutely! The One celebrated at Christmas is the Jewish Messiah, God’s provision for our greatest need.
