A Christmas Message for 2011
"A Child, born for you” is the theme for our Christmas
celebrations here at Dewi Sant Welsh United Church this year.
I
think back some forty years to the birth of my own son… the
incredible sense of joy and exuberance I felt that night; I remember
dancing and jumping for joy. To hold in one’s arms the miracle of
new life, so desperately wanted, so tiny and fragile, yet so
perfectly formed…what an awesome experience!
Every child is like
that and each year I am more astonished that God should chose a baby
in order to become Emmanuel, God-with-us. Each year, the miracle
becomes more precious…the idea that we should be able to hold God in
our arms, put swaddling cloths on him and lay him in a manger. God
becomes vulnerable and in need of protection because God wants to be
one with us. That child is called “Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6b). Miracles never
cease! In the Christ, God is with us throughout all of our life,
accompanying us, weeping with us, comforting us, rejoicing with us.
God-with-us gives us strength and peace and enables us to pass on
that strength and peace to others.
