Christmas 2024

 


(Madonna and Child.  Book of Kells, Ireland, circa A.D. 800.  Source)

"Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.  And this will be a sign to you:  You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manager.

      And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying:  "Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill towards men!"  - Luke 2:  10-14

"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given:  and the government shall be upon his shoulder; and his name shall be called Wonderful Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Price of Peace." - Isaiah 9:6

    Merry Christmas, TB. While I can't offer much in the way of spiritual words - they would sound awfully hollow from me, in any case - I can at least offer up a song: "Gabriel's Message" by Jars of Clay, if you are not familiar with it.
    All the best in the coming year, sir.

      Thank you for the song recommendation. I have only heard it sung by Sting before.
