I Love You

Why did Jesus enter into the world?

The simple answer was to say, “I love you.” Jesus loves you right where you are, but he also loves you too much to leave you there. This great light appeared in the darkness to shower grace into our sinful nature, but only if we are willing to accept that grace.

Light in the darkness

Many of us struggle with seasonal blues. There is the loss of the warmth of summer, and the winnowing daylight, hitting a trough on the Winter Solstice.

It is not a coincidence that Jesus was born on one of the darkest days of the year. The timing of Christmas is providential, warming our hearts in the middle of the dark and cold.

Shepherds and Angels

Today, let’s imagine standing as a shepherd in the countryside of rural Judea 2000 years ago.

It’s pitch black, with only the occasional bleat of a sheep breaching the calm. Close your eyes and breathe in the smell of your flock, and the peace of the night.

Destined for Adoption

Do you ever think of Christmas as adoption day?

When God sent His son, Jesus Christ, into the world, He began the reconciliation of

humanity to Himself. This relationship had been severed by the original sin of Adam and

Eve in the Garden of Eden. Through the passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus, we

were redeemed, making us adopted sons and daughters of God the Father.
