Today, we need to think and meditate on what Jesus did for us, what the God of our universe did in being incarnated into our world in human form, to share our hopes and joys, to share our lives. What bravery, for an infinite being to submit to the pains and limitations of mortality, and on such a primitive and confused world as ours! What kindness, to bestow such loving guidance as to live amongst us and to show how ultimate values can be realised, even in such a sphere!
The way is clear- that we need to keep our minds on the things of heaven, the things of love, the things of immortality and the path to eternal life. As men, we may be seen as being unmanly in such an undertaking, especially now that certain countries are trying to 'reinvent' themselves as military rather than civilian entities. We may be laughed at, scorned, spat on- but the joys of the Kingdom are so much greater than the pains of this world that it is all worth it. Through our examples, the joy of salvation may spread throughout this world to everyone- and in fact some of the most powerful forces active here are in tune with this mission- only the weak and rebellious ones even try to oppose it and then in their ignorance.
So let us remember the calm, loving, peceful yet firm in primncipal and loyal to truth qualities of Jesus- an illustration of the very qualities of the God of all existance, of the 'real' boss, who made us to be free to choose His ways if we but wake up to them.
Thank you God of our Universe, our Micheal, for coming to Earth as this baby Jesus, to show the ways of eternal life and open the door for all those who wish to walk through. Let more and more beings from this and other worlds find the true way, by whatever route appeals best to their nature. Please protect us from evils, sins and temptations in this coming year and indeed for ther whole of our existence. We, for our part, seek diligently to be loyal to your ways and rules and commandments- most especially the most important one- to love one another as you love us.
Thank you God
Amen.
