We find ourselves in a unique place this weekend. On the one hand, our celebrations of the Child born to the Virgin Mary on that first Christmas continue. On the other hand, this weekend bridges our journey from the close of 2022 to the opening of 2023. This weekend we look back at the joys and sorrows, the blessings and the challenges, the additions and the losses, the consequences of sin and the outpourings of God’s grace. At the same time, we see all that through the saving work of the Child of Bethlehem, born to be rescue us from sin and death. That Child first came to bless us through his saving work. That Child has come to bless us now as he provides for us through the vocations of others and the Gospel in Word and Sacraments. That Child has also come to bless us not just now, but forever as has promised. This Savior is born to bless us as we look back to the past year and look ahead to the future. Glory to God in the highest!
