Advent

"The people walking in darkness have seen a great light."
"For to us a child is born; . . . "

But have the people really "seen" the light. Have they understood not only what, but WHO the light is?

Jesus came and turned things upside down; the least is the greatest, less is more, smaller is better. Doesn't sound like our world does it?! While His Kingdom is already here, we mostly fail to see it, or to live like it.

We call ourselves Christians, but we really don't reflect Christ. We are caught up in our worldly lives, including this religion called Christianity, and have lost sight of the Person.

This Christmastide why not turn aside from all the hype & glitz; all those big productions & promotions, and simply find a quiet place (like a lowly stable) and reflect on the first Christmas and it's little family.

Joyeux Noel . . . O come, o come Immanuel and ransom our captive hearts.
