The Word of God so True so Pure; Comes to us as the Child of Man!

The Word of God so True so Pure; Comes to us as the Child of Man!

From the Light of Perfect Eternity we find an infant so dependent and frail.  Leaving his realm he created for us to be the match that will light his way; into our hearts and free us all from tyranny that could become our death.  

Wrapped in swaddling clothes of poverty to dress us in vestures of perfection for heaven.  A warning that rings out to us; put on the coat of sinless array.   Do not sneak in dressed as a beggar, stand tall and wear a look of forgiveness.  Be careful when being invited to the banquet that you dress according to the style of royalty. When the Lord came to us as weak flesh and needy - he now calls each of us as victors over sin.  

Upon him we find the answer of Truth that would be the Crown we wear in Perfection like his heavenly Father.  “And if you greet your brothers only, what is unusual about that?  Do not the pagans do the same?  So be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect.”  (Mt 5: 47 - 48).  His message of Hope becomes the call for us to reach out and grasp the hand of God who comes wrapped in Victory over evil and death.  This is what the advent of anticipation is all about; Waiting, Seeking and Receiving the promise of Eternal Life.
