Have you ever had a moment where something that was confusing suddenly became crystal clear? Once you see it, it seems so obvious. The good news of Christianity should feel like this—and if it doesn’t, perhaps that is because you just haven’t had the right epiphany yet.

(Note this sermon is based on the lectionary texts from the previous Sunday.)

The story of the birth of Jesus is inherently "political," meaning simply that it took place in a particular place and time, with social and civic factors at play. (Just look at how much detail about the government there is in the Christmas story!) We, too, exist in a particular time and place, with our own social and civic factors at play. And if we want Christ to be born into our own hearts, we must take this into account.

When we are caught in the tension between a holiday season that calls us to peace and a world that seems to be in ever-increasing discord, we may need to reset our understanding of what peace is, and what it isn't. We are reminded, once again, of Martin Luther King Jr.’s words: “True peace is not merely the absence of tension; it is the presence of justice.”
