God in his limitless mercy has sent His only begotten Son into time and place – then and now; into the world of sin and death – then and now; into grief and sorrow . . . terror and shame, then and now. God has mingled time and the fullness of eternal joy into the person of the human/divine Jesus.
God has entered, enters and will always continue to enter fully into the time and place of us – all of us – God’s people. God brings salvation from all that destroys us.
Today, wherever we live, TODAY is born our savior, who is the promised one.
This is the gift of Christmas.
This is the gift of Christmas.
