<h2 class="contentheading"> Nativity of Our Lord, God and Savior, Jesus
Christ</h2>
<p><strong>December 25, 2009</strong></p>
<p><em></em><small> <strong>Luke 2:1-10</strong> - And it came to pass
in those days, that
there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should
be taxed. (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of
Syria.) And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. And
Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into
Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he
was of the house and lineage of David:) to be taxed with Mary his
espoused wife, being great with child. And so it was, that, while they
were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling
clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them
in the inn. <br>
<br>
And there were in the same country shepherds
abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo,
the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone
round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto
them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy,
which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city
of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign
unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in
a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the
heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace, good will toward men.<br>
<br>
And it came to pass,
as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said
one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing
which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. And they
came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a
manger. And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying
which was told them concerning this child. And all they that heard it
wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. But
Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. And the
shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that
they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them. <em>(KJV – Gospel
from the Vigil Vespers and Divine Liturgy of St. Basil)</em><br>
<br>
<strong>Christ is Born! Glorify Him!</strong>
- How shall we approach this great mystery, our Saviour born in time, a
Virgin giving birth, God born as man? We might ask a thousand
questions, searching for details and explanations and clarifications.
It is a reasonable question after all; "How can this be?" <br>
<br>
Recall
a child's wonder in this season of giving. He might inquire how Santa
knew that he really needed a bicycle, and however did he manage to
carry it in a sleigh? But a child knows that love made it possible. <br>
<br>
As
children of a heavenly Father, all our answers come with a simple
reply. "It is by the power of the Holy Spirit." What do you wish to
know about the Christmas feast? What question will you ask your angel?
The answer is found in accepting that this feast is a celebration of
the power of the Holy Spirit, who has accomplished such a wonderful
miracle. The Spirit of Love, the Lord of Life, the Spirit of Power has
overshadowed our world, and the Virgin conceived, the cave is
illumined, and a world transformed. The questions may be many, but the
answer is One. "It is by the power of the Holy Spirit!" A profound
confidence in the Spirit of God will calm our restless mind, our
searching reason, our yearning soul. Glory be to the life-giving
Spirit, our answer and our hope.</small></p>
