I am quoting in full a short homily from The Cavalier Chronicle, from Page 7, printed on 12/20/23, entitled God Has Done Great Things. This homily is for December 24, 2023, and is from the 1992 Revised Common Lectionary: “The Virgin Mary knew what God did for her. Little did she know what God would do for the rest of us. God sent Jesus, His Son, to save us from what we deserve. We can choose everlasting life. This week, in church, choose life. . . . for the Mighty One has done great things for me. Luke 1:47-55.”
My response: We have free will and many of us deserve death, but, if we choose, we can gain everlasting life by accepting Jesus and other good deities into our lives.
God has done great things for us, so we must try to be worthy of such largesse. If we maverize, perhaps we can do fairly great things, and that is a way of thanking God.
