31st, December, ThursdayI. 1 John 2:18-21
II. John 1:1-18
Theme: Word made Flesh
If Christmas is a season of enlightenment, then it very well can be a time of renewal and repurposing. We could come up with some really life changing resolutions that would enable us to "sing to the Lord a new song". Each of us has to figure that out in our own lives. It should be a song of gladness and joy. It should be a song that recognizes that God is among us and has given us the power to be the children of God. The Psalm today reminds us that our salvation is already here. So then how can we move forward into the New Year more confidently? What is the new song the Lord wants from us?
The main them of the Gospel is that the word became flesh and live among us which reveals to us the great mystery of the incarnation. As the Christians we are urged to heed his voice at all times and remember the word flesh, the Lamb of God who manifests himself as our guide in our daily life. If we really celebrated the truth of God's love for our humanity this Christmas, then we can join with all creation to live in the light of Christ and the justice of God. Today, each of us will resolve to repurpose our lives in God's love for us as we continue to celebrate Christmas and begin a new year.
