A. Unabashed Pacifist:
Peace is calling and I must go.
B. Unabashed Christian:
Holy Child,
On the way to Bethlehem, your parents wondered what they would encounter there. Your birth in a cattle stall probably did not cross their minds.
On the way to Bethlehem, your parents wondered what would become of their first child. Execution as a preacher of hope was not among their hopes for you.
On the way to Bethlehem, we wonder what we will encounter there. Will we greet the unexpected claims on our lives with joy?
On the way to Bethlehem, we wonder what will become of us. Will we bow in obedience to the claims and hopes you have for our lives?
On the way to Bethlehem, we prepare to greet you as sovereign of life and savior from death and despair. Abide with us, we pray.
Amen
C. Un-quoting Jesus:
“Mom, have you heard? Santa Claus is coming to town!”
[No, He didn’t say it. Definitely not.]
