glory

The angels sang, “Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.” God’s favor, his grace has entered humanity in a new way. It was promised that a savior would come, and when he did, what was it that he brought more so than anything to save us? It was grace. God’s favor is his grace; grace to know God, and grace to love God. Grace is what the Son brought through his first coming. Forgiveness… yes. Rebirth… yes. Forgiven and reborn so that an endless, living supply of grace could dwell in our hearts. Every Christmas we celebrate the human birth of living grace, the Son of God, into our world.
