Christmas 2019

How special those Christmas stories in Matthew and Luke are to us as each year as we celebrate the birth of Jesus. For those of us who grew up in Christian homes, our childhood memories are still a part of us, or as parents we watched our own children’s delight and excitement bring warmed hearts. Stories of angels singing and of the rearrangement of the stars to guide the world to the glorious happening still bring hope to the world.

Christmas is still special in 2019 because we also celebrate Jesus’ resurrection. His resurrection in the hearts of those first Disciples, and His continuing resurrection in the hearts of each successive generation is our experience So let us celebrate Christmas in 2019 as a present day happening, as a rebirth of Jesus on Christmas day this year in each of us. Let us accept His rebirth of God’s love in each of us as a commitment to pass that love on.

So we can still hear the angel voices and join the Wise Men in praise. It happens every year.
