Quote of the Day: Christmas 2013
“Neither shall they say, Lo here! or lo there! for, behold the kingdom of God is within you.” (Luke 17:21)
"I and the father are one." (John 10:30)
~ Jesus of Nazareth
On December 25, Christians and non-Christians alike, gather to celebrate Jesus’ birth. Joyful carols, special liturgies, brightly wrapped gifts, and festive foods all characterize the festivities. From my perspective, the more opportunities we have to celebrate God, the better. That Christmas is a time to honor God by celebrating Jesus' birth can sometimes be lost amidst the secular activities and fun surrounding Christmas. These are fine in themselves, but it is a good thing, I think, to remember that the holiday is also about the birth of a great being, Jesus, who walked amidst us many years ago.
