CHRISTMAS 2022
Christmas is a celebration of the arrival of one of the
three triune beings, the Son of God, and hence the prophet Isaiah (7:14)
foretells this child will be called Immanuel, God with us.
Whenever I have a concern with
scripture, I seek out what Immanuel told us during the three years he walked
among mankind while wrapped in human flesh. When challenged by the religious leaders about the greatest
commandments, he simply replied that if we love God and our neighbors as ourselves,
we will be just fine.
“The person who loves their dream of
community will destroy community, but the person who loves those around them
will create community.”
"The church is not a religious community of worshippers of Christ but is Christ himself who has taken form among people."
--- Dietrich Bonhoeffer
“It is said that before entering the
sea
a river trembles with fear.
The river needs to take the risk
of entering the ocean
because only then will fear disappear,
because that’s where the river will
know
it’s not about disappearing into the
ocean,
but of becoming the ocean.”
---Khalil Gibran
