Advent Day Three


Sunday, 1 December: All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. John 1:3

All things, good things such as sunsets and bad things such as rebellious angels. When God chose to create, He accepted risk and the attendant ultimate sacrifice. The majestic beauty of an isolated and impassable mountain range, His. The calm stillness of a meadow full of wildflowers, His. Soaring geese with wings flashing in the winter sun, His. The soft tenderness of an infant’s cheek, His. The itchy warmth of a wool blanket, His. Wood for a manger and a cross, His. The ability to choose between good and evil, His. A small ridge suitable for a tiny village, His. A craggy Judean hill fit for crucifixion, His.
