Hello ,
After returning home from a long tour, Bono, the lead singer for U2, returned to Dublin and
attended a Christmas Eve service. At some point in that service, Bono grasped the truth at the heart of the Christmas story: in Jesus, God became a human being. With tears streaming down his face, Bono realized,
"The idea that God, if there is a force of Love and Logic in the universe, that it would seek to explain itself is amazing enough. That it would seek to explain itself by becoming a child born in poverty ... and straw, a child, I just thought, "Wow!" Just the poetry ... I saw
the genius of picking a particular point in time and deciding to turn on this ... Love needs to find a form, intimacy needs to be whispered ... Love has to become an action or something concrete. It would have to happen. There must be an incarnation. Love must be made flesh."*
The scriptures tell us that God IS love...not merely that He DOES love. The fact that many people are even giving a passing glance at Jesus during this time of year, is reason
enough for us to lift Him high through our lives, our demeanor, and our love.
Have a great day and God bless!
