Christmas – a thought, a prayer and some music

Nothing in fiction is so fantastic as this truth of the Incarnation

 

A thought

“The Almighty appeared on earth as a helpless human baby, needing to be fed and changed and taught to talk like any other child. The more you think about it, the more staggering it gets. Nothing in fiction is so fantastic as this truth of the Incarnation.” ~ J.I. Packer

A prayer

God of glory, 
your splendour shines from a manger in Bethlehem, 
where the Light of the world is humbly born 
into the darkness of human night. 
Open our eyes to Christ’s presence in the shadows of our world, 
so that we, like him, may become beacons of your justice, 
and defenders of all for whom there is no room. Amen.
