Born into a working class family under harsh circumstances is
challenge enough. Jesus was also born
into a nation under military occupation and foreign rule. His early life was filled with flight and
danger. The time between his twelfth
year and his thirtieth is a mystery.
His time of public work was only three years. In that short time he impacted history in a
way that no one ever has. Every movement
of his life was committed to revealing God to us in a new way. Every event was a living out of loving God
and his neighbor with all he is.
He healed, he fed, and he cared for others. His entire time was committed to the well-being
of others. This is what I am called to
follow. This is who I am called to be
like. Celebrating the Advent of Christ
means renewing my purpose to follow the man that the baby became.
Wishing you joy in the journey,

Mat 13:52 So Jesus said to them, "That is why every writer
who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home
owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
store."
