Jesus comes to establish a new era of unending justice, in which anything that stands in the way of God’s love will fall away. “For those who hoard wealth, lord their power over the weak, and refuse to follow Jesus’s example,” writes Summerlee Staten, it’s a scary thought. But at its core, it’s a message of lasting liberation — for all of us.
Father Michael Bird, Vicar of Trinity Church, reminds us of the reason for the season: God’s love come to earth — to us — in the person of Jesus Christ.
