Happy Monday!
From Twitter, that fountain of eternal wisdom, comes the inspiration for today’s word-of-the-week…
BIRTH
“Christmas means nothing without Easter. Jesus’ birth is meaningless without His death.”
I get the point, but I’d take issue with this tweet from a well-known Christian pastor. Frankly, I can’t think of a context in which Jesus’ birth is “meaningless.”
I get that the cross was a pivotal event, that Jesus’ death and resurrection were central events in history.
But I’m going to allow myself a few weeks to simply celebrate the occasion (John 1:14a) when “…the Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us.” I think it’s okay to focus on the joy and peace of Silent Night.
O Holy Night! The stars are brightly shining,
it is the night of the dear Savior’s birth.
The angels showed up that night and sang (Luke 2:13-14). That’s good enough for me.
Have a great week.
