Thursday, December 25, 2003 Joyeux Noël The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light. For those who lived in a land of deep shadows--light! sunbursts of light! You repopulated the nation, you expanded its joy. Oh, they're so glad in your presence! Festival joy! The joy of a great celebration, sharing rich gifts and warm greetings.... For a child has been born--for us! The gift of a son--for us! He'll take over the running of the world. His names will be: Amazing Counselor, Strong God, Eternal Father, Prince of Wholeness. His ruling authority will grow, and there'll be no limits to the wholeness he brings. He'll rule from the historic David throne over that promised kingdom. He'll put that kingdom on a firm footing and keep it going with fair dealing and right living, beginning now and lasting always.... --Isaiah 9:2-3, 6-7, The Message It's not just about the presents (though I'm thrilled because I finally have a working computer now) or the food (though the turkey was excellent) or even the friends and family (though I appreciate those too). It's about a love so great that it could not bear to keep apart from us, a God so humble that he would give up his glory to be born in a stinky stable, the son of a common man. A God who reached out to us when we couldn't help ourselves, a God who would die for us. Merry Christmas. A gift for you; as Tait said, it's "terribly funny." ^ Top | 7:41 PM | | |
