Dear friends and neighbors,

I wish you blessings and safe travels, as we gather with family, friends, and loved ones to celebrate the reason for the Christmas season (e.g., the Creator Himself stepping out of eternity into time, being born a man within His own creation to live a sinless life, then 33-years later willingly allow Himself to be crucified on a cross to establish THE avenue for forgiveness of our sin and saving us from judgment).

The Christmas season always reminds me to rejoice for we were given the gift of eternal life from God. We remember the words of the Maji recorded in Matthew 2:10, "When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy." We likewise rejoice with joy!

Merry Christmas to you!

Sincerely,

Eric Lucero

Minnesota Senate, District 30
