First Day of Christmas


December 26
Did God really need to enter the world? Clearly not. Omnipotence leaves all options open. So why take the hardest road to redemption? Why not the scrap heap for humanity followed by the drawing board? A second edition would seem the way to go. But it wasn’t. Each of us is a unique expression of God – not expressed again ever or anywhere. Each of us contains a piece of God unique and irreplaceable. Each of us has the capacity through grace to choose to live out our unique divinity just as Jesus did. God chose to enter the world as one of us to show us our true potential, no matter the cost. Our divinely human potential is the first gift of Christmas. Merry Christmas!
