 It’s Christmas Eve! Advent is hanging on by her fingertips simply by virtue of the 2017 calendar, and we are already celebrating the birth of our King Jesus. Still! Today, Christmas Eve, we are taken back to Nazareth and a virgin meek and mild and the glorious archangel Gabriel to the announcement that changes the history of the world–for the good. "And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call His name Jesus...the child to be born will be called holy–the Son of God." Yes, our King Jesus Christ, our namesake here at CTK is a real live human being who is at the same time Lord God and Creator of all! We, feebly struggling in this passing away world of sin and death, may only see dimly the true glory of Christ. But, virgin Mary gives us great advice that helps us to see the light shining in the darkness, "Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word." Merry Christmas!
