Whatever bad news has entered your life this year: -the loss of a job -the loss of a friendship -the loss of a spouse or a child -a terrible diagnosis from a doctor Whatever sorrow has come to you, here is good news. Indeed, it is the best of news, news that quiets the heart and sets every grief in its proper place. It is the good news the angels announced to the shepherds on the night our Lord was born: “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy, which shall be for all the people.” For you who grieve? Yes. For you who hurt? Yes. For you who are anxious? Yes. This good news, which gives meaning and proportion to every sorrow, is the Incarnation, the becoming-human of God himself. The Son of God became one of us. Skin, hair, blood, and bones. In so doing, he proved beyond all doubt that God is not against us, but for us. He willingly became one of us to dwell among us, to save us, and to make us children of our Father. Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy. God is for you in Jesus. And there is no better news than that. Merry Christmas to you all!

Early this morning, a fire broke out in Sells Hall, an administrative building on campus. We are deeply grateful to the Bristol, TN and VA Fire Departments for their swift and professional response.
