It’s the period, remember, twelve days long, when we celebrate the second Incarnation of the Divine in Jesus of Nazareth. Perhaps you recall that timeless scene in Chuck Brown’s Christmas special when Linus reminds us of the true meaning of the season by quoting Luke 2, “But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for see, I am bringing you good news of great joy for all the people: to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is the Messiah, the Lord.” The time known as Christmastime reminds us that God is, and will always be, because God has always been, with us. For those of us within the Christian tradition, this season is truly special as we honor the majesty and mystery of God manifested in the infant Jesus. Jesus embodies this divine presence as both fully human and beyond human nature—a child of God. All this divine grandeur was secretly embodied in a life form small enough to fit within the loving embrace of a woman’s body. It’s the time we receive the gift that all of life is steeped in new life – and that everything, and I mean everything, belongs. So, let’s talk about time. And then, take the time to celebrate the new world becoming right in front of us! Let us enter this deep time of darkness and light – embracing the love we have right now. After all, time is what we do with it! Adam Quine First Presbyterian Church - Lincoln
