But those who did welcome him, those who believed in his name, he authorized to become God's children,
How will you welcome him?
On this day before we celebrate the coming of the Christ child, reflect on what parts of the Advent story sound like GOOD NEWS to you. The good news for some was bad news for others. Isn't life often like that. As I reflect on the hope, peace, joy and love of the gospel message, I wonder how I make it into good news for my daily life.
Take time for quiet reflection. Respond to the questions below by writing in your journal or quietly reflecting.
- When have you experienced good news and bad news as two sides of the same coin? a move? a new job? a marriage or divorce?
Prayer for Monday, Week Four
Gracious God, we are grateful for those who dare to believe in the incredible story of Jesus' birth and, in believing, have become your children, proclaiming the message of reconciliation, hope, love, and peace with justice throughout the world. O Lord, may the light of Bethlehem's love and hope continue to shine.
