Editor’s Note from December 17, 1976

Jesus came in the flesh. That’s the Christmas story. Jesus rose again in the same body. That’s the Easter story. Jesus came into our hearts by faith. That’s salvation’s story. Jesus is coming again. That’s the story of our hope. And all of this makes it possible to say: a merry Christmas and a happy new year to you all.
