Really good sermon today on the Luke 2 account of the angel's song of Good News to the shepherds. Here are some thoughts:
In coming to earth, Christ has restored relationships. We are broken people; we hurt each other, yet Jesus pronounces redemption from our propensity to inflict pain and hurt on one another.
We often don't believe that "peace on earth" is possible in a world consumed by anger, selfishness, and pride. We balk at the angel's pronouncement. We get angry that there is not peace on earth, but we forget that WE are the instruments of reconcilliation! THIS is our task - be instruments of peace and healing in the world.
Mad props, Pastor Wes; thanks for the reality check!
