Thinking about the Christmas Season, I am reminded of Luke’s
account of the announcement of the Savior’s birth.
“Glory to God in the highest, & on earth peace, good will
toward men.” Luke 2:14
This great announcement by the angel of the Lord accompanied
by a multitude of heavenly host singing to the glory of God did not come to the
religious elite nor to the politically powerful but the everyday working class
people of Bethlehem. The message is
clear and plain; glory is for God and toward others peace and good will. There is no
message here of rebellion against oppressors, of conquests, impressing people
or acquiring things. Today you can choose to do all to the glory of God and offer
peace and good will to all you encounter. It really is up to you how you
celebrate and bless others this Christmas.
Thank you for your love and good will toward us.
