Christmas: A Light Has Come

Christmas doesn’t arrive in a vacuum. In this Christmas Day homily, Pastor Justin Fung names what is true: both the weariness many of us are carrying and the deeper truth the Church proclaims at Christmas — that the light has come. He explores what it means to say "Emmanuel, God with us" in a world that is still marked by grief, injustice, and exhaustion. Christmas is not about pretending everything is fine; it is about God choosing to enter human life as it actually is — fragile, complicated, unfinished — and to remain with us there. This message is for those arriving at Christmas in all kinds of ways: joyful, grieving, tired, uncertain, or somewhere in between. Wherever you find yourself today, you are welcome here.
