“When they saw that the star had stopped, they were overwhelmed with joy. On entering the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother; and they knelt down and paid him homage.”

{Matthew 2.10-11, NRSV}

We are so grateful to our Neighbor God, Who moved into the womb of a woman just to be in community with us, Who borrowed a body in order to give us new life. What a mystery that the Eternal God has a birthday. What a gift is Your presence in the earth today and all days. “Oh, come let us adore him, Christ, the Lord” because God is with us and here to stay.

Happy birthday, Jesus and Merry Christmas to you!
