Christmas is a feast full of wonder and hope. What we celebrate is no less than God’s entry into the world to share fully in our human nature:
“The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us.” At the heart of our faith is our belief in the love of God. Christ’s birth is proof of that. So, it’s that love that should be at the heart of our Christmas celebrations. God’s love for us prompts our love for him and our love for others. It’s God’s love that should fuel our family gatherings and our celebrations. It’s God’s love that urges us to spare a thought for those less fortunate than ourselves, and to care for and to pray for those who are struggling at this time. Christ, the Son of God was born in a messy stable. This tells us that God is near at every moment of life, including the toughest of times. Christ enters our lives to offer hope, love and salvation - and that is the Good News we celebrate. Jesus has come to make his home in our hearts. So, let’s thank him; let’s praise him. Come let us adore him!
