Reflections Along the Jesus Way
December 31, 2023 – Quote for the Day:
“The best way to announce, send and share a vision is to encase and enfold that dream in a person. That’s what happened when God became a man. Mary… ‘wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger’ (Luke 2:7 KJV).
Sending a message, wrapped up in a person, is at the heart and core of the meaning and significance of the birth of Jesus, and of the celebration of his birth we call Christmas.
Jesus was God in human flesh – the God-man. He brought wonderful news to our world – we call it the gospel – and that gospel was wrapped up in his person. Jesus is the box – he is the wrapping paper, the bow on top, the human container – that envelops the gospel – the gospel of grace and truth.”
