2020 12 25 The Purpose Of Life, Nativity Of The Lord


Christmas offers an affirmation   of basic human goodness. Trust is choosing to believe and rely on what Christmas proclaims: God has become one with us to share with us the infinite love, beauty, and truth that God is. God knows the infinite potential that lies within each person, which he has placed there and desires to share;   it is directed to the fulfillment of God’s own purpose in the creation itself. Christmas celebrates the Incarnation, the embodying of God’s Mind or God’s Word. Christmas invites us into a positive, hopeful, and utterly expanding vision of our future. God became human so that humanity could become divine.   We can become like Christ. When we say “God” we mean the creating, sustaining, supporting, healing source of all that we can experience now or ever. God does not rescue us from our problems,  but accompanies us  on our journey to the fullness of life that he has promised.
