Thinking about the Season
|
| Written by Pastor Mark Evans |
| I've been thinking about the season and what it means to us. As Christians we take great joy in participating in the remembering of our Lord's birth. We call him the Prince of Peace. Yet how can we call Him the Prince of Peace when wars, famine, injustice and poverty stalk the Land? Our joy comes not from His birth as much as why He came. The Son of God/God in human form came to live with us. He came not searching for a safe place to live. He came to Save. He came because we needed him. What is at stake here is not the conditions that lead to His birth nor the conditions of the world in 2007. What is at stake here is the total human condition of sin and our inabliltiy to save ourselves. So God through His Son finds a way to save us. We celebrate that God will not be denied and that against all odds God has found a way, and His way is Jesus. Merry Christmas! Pastor Mark |
