Mystery

I'm watching "It's a Wonderful Life," with the family. It's a beautiful time spent reflecting on a beautiful moment.

Living in our age, now, we can't truly appreciate the depth of the prophesy given to the Jews. Surely we can reflect on, and we must, as followers of Jesus praise God for the fulfillment of it, but I don't know that we can truly appreciate it.

Which is why we don't see the beauty of taking part in the Kingdom of God. I write this blog on this night for a reason. In the morning we will awake and we will celebrate that the Kingdom is here. The Kingdom is now. We've celebrated the Advent season and it all culminates in the morning. What a beautiful moment!

So may you, with your family and friends, celebrate this mysterious birth and remember that the Kingdom is now. Christ has come, Christ has died, Christ is risen and Christ will come again!

Blessings and Peace
