Charles Dickens said it was the best of times, it was the worst of times. 2024 has been like that, with plenty of challenges. Yet through it all, I find myself filled with gratitude about the all-star cast I get to work with at Decker Properties. I’m grateful also for all the folks who have honored us by making their home with us. All and all, the sun is still shining on Decker Properties!
I hope there will always be another son that shines at Decker Properties and that would be Jesus. The whole world will stop in a few days to remember his birth. We can be confident about the promise of heaven owing to the intervention of Jesus. Jesus said in John 14:6, “I am the way, the truth and the life, no man comes to the Father but by me.”
We’ll never get to heaven based on our membership in a particular church or adherence to some sort of moral code. If that were the answer, then why did God let his Son die on a cross? Jesus isn’t a way or one of the ways, He is the way. There’s only one way.
I’ll close with one of the most famous verses from the Bible – John 3:16:
For God so loved the world, he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
The thought of that puts a smile on my face and puts me in the right frame of mind to wish you a very Merry Christmas!
