Christ Jesus, lead me in your truth, and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation…

 
Psalm 25:4-10

 
This weekend we are celebrating the parting of the clouds of unknowing by the Light of the World, who disrupted the grip of the flesh and devil on the world by being born of the Virgin Mary in a cowshed in Bethlehem. The crowd of people in Bethlehem for the census could have witnessed this quiet but earth shaking event first hand, yet only the shepherds in the surrounding fields had the time and vision to hear the truth sung by the Angels, and to follow their lead to welcome the newborn Prince of Peace, the God of our salvation. Perhaps a handful of other people in Bethlehem at the time dropped by to greet Mary and Joseph, but did they realize just Who the baby was and the Saving Grace he was bringing to human kind?  If I were in Bethlehem then, would I have been attuned to the Angels’ message and followed their lead to discover the Truth of Christmas night? This Christmas will I listen to the Truth sent from above to discover the God of my salvation and learn from Him?  Christ Jesus, lead me in your truth, and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation. 
 
“Let us go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us.” (Luke 2:15)
 
A Christmas Prayer for you and your Family:
 
May Christ dwell in your hearts through faith;
that rooted and grounded in love,
you may have strength to comprehend with all the holy ones
what is the breadth and length and height and depth,
and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge,
so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.  Ephesians 3:17 -21
 
Much Grace and Peace and Joy be to you and your family
throughout this Christmas Season!
