"When the song of the angels is stilled, when the star in the sky is gone, when the kings and princes are home, when the shepherds are back with their flocks, the work of Christmas begins: to find the lost, to heal the broken, to feed the hungry, to release the prisoner, to rebuild the nations, to bring peace among the people, to make music in the heart." -Harry Thurman
The work of God through Jesus didn't stop with a baby born in a manger, it didn't stop with a man who grew up to be a good teacher, it didn't stop when that man died on the cross, and it didn't stop with his resurrection from the dead or ascension into Heaven. The work of God through Jesus continues in us and through us today as we surrender to his good, pleasing, and perfect will, and as we love the people around us and proclaim healing and redemption into the brokenness of this world.
Merry Christmas, all year long.
