The Face of God in the Letters

Jesus gave up the comforts of heaven for the mud and muck of our world. He gave up the realm of holiness to walk amongst sinners. He emptied himself of the glory that has kept us from him so that he might touch us to bring healing and wholeness.

What if we had the same mindset as Christ this Christmas? What if, this Christmas, we, as a community tried to lay down some of our expectations? What if we humbled ourselves and gave up some of our rights? What if we, like Jesus, emptied ourselves of expectation so that we could demonstrate Christ’s humility and compassion to those around us? What if we counted the interest of others above our own?

Jesus, who is God, reveals to us the glory of God through the humanity and humility of God. And it is because of this, that Christ is exalted above every other name.
