Dear Friends and Neighbors,

 

As we gather with loved ones to celebrate Christmas, I wish you blessings, fun, and safe travels as we remember the great words of the prophet Isaiah “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given” while celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ.

Eric & Erum during a 2010 trip to Israel visiting the City of Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus Christ, seen in the background. Also seen in the background are the fields outside the city which the heavenly angels appeared in the sky while the shepherds were tending to their flock (and possibly the same fields belonging to Ruth and Boaz in the Book of Ruth).

Eric & Erum during a 2010 trip to Israel visiting the Western Wall / Wailing Wall in Jerusalem (where the Jewish People pray to the Lord of Heaven) and the Temple Mount (area above the Western Wall where the 1st and 2nd temples stood and where the 3rd temple will be rebuilt at some point in the future).

 

As we celebrate Christmas with family, friends, and loved ones to reflect on the hope given to us from the Creator through the birth of His son, the Messiah Jesus Christ, we also keep Israel, the Jewish People, and the peace of Jerusalem in our prayers.

 

Again, I wish you a very Merry Christmas!

 

Sincerely,

 

Eric Lucero
