When the decorations come down and the celebrations fade, the story of Jesus’ flight to Egypt reminds us that God entered a world of real suffering. Followers of Jesus are called to keep carrying his light into dark places instead of packing him away with the Christmas decorations.
At Christmas, we come to the miracle of the incarnation, where the unknowable God takes on flesh. When God shows up, light drives out darkness, and love drives out fear.
God comes to earth in Jesus as light and love, driving out darkness and fear. We are invited to join Jesus in sharing that light in a weary world.
God invites us, like Mary, to trust the limitless goodness of the Holy Spirit and offer an unqualified yes to God’s will.
Waiting is not passive resignation but active preparation for participation in Jesus’ making all things new.
Advent invites us to prepare our hearts for the coming of Jesus by living lives that bless others.
