The Birth of Jesus
THE time was nearly due for Jesus to be born, and Mary longed to see Elizabeth, and she and Joseph turned their faces toward the Judean hills.
2 And when upon their way they came to Bethlehem the day was done, and they must tarry for the night.
3 But Bethlehem was thronged with people going to Jerusalem; the inns and homes were filled with guests, and Joseph and his wife could find no place to rest but in a cave where animals were kept; and there they slept.
4 At midnight came a cry, a child is born in yonder cave among the beasts. And lo, the promised son of man was born.
5 And strangers took the little one and wrapped him in the dainty robes that Mary had prepared and laid him in a trough from which the beasts of burden fed.
6 Three persons clad in snowwhite robes came in and stood before the child and said,
7 All strength, all wisdom and all love be your, Immanuel.
8 Now, on the hills of Bethehem were many flocks of sheep with shepherds guarding them.
9 The shepherds were devout, were men of prayer, and they were waiting for a strong deliverer to come.
10 And when the child of promise came, a man in snow-white robe appeared to them, and they fell back in fear. The man stood forth and said,
11 Fear not! behold I bring you joyful news. At midnight in a cave in Bethehem was born the prophet and the king that you have long been waiting for.
12 And then the shepherds all were glad; they felt that all the hills were filled with messengers of light, who said,
13 All glory be to God on high; peace, peace on earth, good will to men.
14 And then the shepherds came with haste to Bethlehem and to the cave, that they might see and honour him whom men had called Immanuel.

Today we celebrate the birth of Christ. While it is true that he was not born on this day it is true that this has been a sacred season for the celebration of world saviors for many thousands of years.

If Christ were present writing to us, here are the words I believe He would speak.

My Friends,
I call you friends, because you seek My voice and recognize My words carried by the Spirit into your hearts. When you sense words of light and embrace them within to kindle the fires of Spirit in your heart and feel the fire that burns but never consumed - you know at that time that it is I, even I that am with you, and you are with me in the bosom of the Father/Mother God.

Any day that you seek to kindle the birth of Christ within your heart is a sacred day and honored by me and all the saviors which have gone on before me for I am in them and you are to be in Me in thought and deed for I hold your presence in the palm of my hand and embrace all within my heart who seek the inner flame of soul.

"Peace on earth good will to all," are still the words on the lips of angels. Let it also be on your lips, my friends, and let it spread as the fire of a candle lighting other candles until all the hearts of humankind feel the presence of the most holy peace within, transforming the world to peace without. When you feel peace within and see peace without you will feel Me within and My presence in form will no longer be hidden from your eyes.
