From the Vicar

Dear Friends,

A couple of thoughts as we journey beyond Christmas into a New Year. This thought was posted by Dr C. Baxter Kruger on his blog on Christmas Day – and what follows is a comment posted by a reader of Dr Baxter Kruger’s blog – a greeting they sent to friends and family in their Christmas Greetings.

"Our beloved Lord Jesus Christ became what we are to bring us to be what he is in himself" (Irenaeus, not an exact quote, but very close).

May you be awed anew by the wonder of that babe in the manger
That God put on flesh to bring the face of the Father to our frightened eyes
While the eyes of the God-man saw through our distorted vision
He saw the fear, felt the angst, and the alienation
How He completely understands our blinded minds
How He so perfectly portrayed the true face of God
That we might see as He sees and has always known--from forever
that God is pure, passionate, lavish love
Bask in His beauty, the peace, and the serenity of that truth at Christmas and forever.
