We live in a time where it seems like everyone is talking but no-one is listening. What’s behind this incessant drive to constantly be heard, and what does it say about our spiritual condition?
Our lives are seemingly a season of seasons—a rhythm of reversals. The pace, uncomfortable. The burden, infinitely weighty. But, when we see life with God’s creative intention—an eternal perspective—we can shed our doubts, burdens, anxiety, and weariness…and lay them all at the feet of Jesus.
Why do modern people like ourselves often have so much “stuff”, but so little joy? Why do we fill our lives with “things”, yet still feel empty inside? The author of Ecclesiastes experienced this too.
When Jesus was born His first visitors were simple shepherds who had received an angelic visitation. As they told what they had seen and heard, Luke tells us that Mary “treasured up these things and pondered them in her heart”. What better way for us to consider His glorious birth than to do the same?
The most profound truth we can express about Christmas is also the most basic: God came to Earth.
