Advent 2010

"And the angel said unto them,

Fear not; for behold,

I bring you good tidings of great joy,

Which shall be to all people.

For unto you is born this day

In the city of David

A Savior,

Who is Christ the Lord"

Luke's gospel echoes through the ages.

In this season,
Do we hear the physician's words?

I fear not.

Carols fill the halls and malls of commerce

Until we no longer comprehend their meaning.

Today,

I will listen with my heart to Luke,

And know Christ excludes no one from his love

For he came "to all people."
No exclusivity,
No unique faith,
Just the manifestation of God
In a baby. 

Great Joy!

The message of Advent.

God of the Living

"For he is not a God of the dead,
but of the living;
for all live unto him."
Luke 20:38

Jesus spoke these words.
For me, they are enough.
I do not worry about the rapture.
I do not worry about a thousand years.
I do not worry about Christ's reign on earth.
I know that I will live in Christ forever.
I know that time is not a shroud for God.
Time only fetters us, not God.
We are with God now.
We will be with God through the infinity of time.
