Christmas

 

I subscribe to The Cavalier Chronicle, so I enjoy their weekly homily on Page 7. The one for 12/24/25 was entitled More Than The Christmas Spirit.

Here is the homily: “Here’s more than Christmas cheer! God’s gift of Jesus as our Savior is cause for everything in our being to rejoice. Nothing can compare to God’s offering.”

My response: I admire and appreciate the proposition that nothing can compare with God’s offering the birth of Jesus the Savior to suffering humanity.

Homily: “But we must receive the gift.”

My response: God and Jesus offer us the gift of eternal life, but they ever respect our free will, that we must accept the gift of grace, the gift of eternal life, for they force with will upon none.

Homily: “Celebrate your receipt of God’s gift this week in church. My spirit rejoices in God my savior. Luke1:46b-55.”
