For all the talk in today’s culture about the “magic of Christmas,” the reality is that it is the very absence of “magic” in the world that gave us need for the incarnation. Left to our own device, we humans dance dangerously about in darkness. Left to our incomplete selves, sin reigns supreme.
Only a complete Man could be our hope. One who was, as the song goes, “pleased as man with man to dwell.” May the increase of his government and of peace see no end.
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!
