Christmas greeting: May the peace which passeth all understanding be with you this Christmas season.
Meditation on the Advent of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
The animals of the stable being just themselves provided by expiration a warming house for the new arrival.
By being present spiritually in the moment of arrival at the manger, our hearts will be open to love and the love of a God who sent into the world his one true Son to live, suffer, and to die as one of us.
Remember in the instant of the incarnation that God, whose righteousness is the righteousness that matters, underscored in the humbleness of the manger the manner in which he would become for we humans the certainty of the God of Promises and Fulfillment. The Good News of liberation from sin and a new relationship for humankind with the God of love would await the Resurrection (Easter) and Pentecost, but we who live now some 200 generations later have yet to accept fully the gift of eternal life.
Christmas wish: Here's to a closer walk with Thee in 2013! Bless you all, the great and small, the strong and the weak, who in relationship with God can only become a fully realized human self.
RJH. Christmas eve, 2012.
