“In the month of December, He strikes both the secular and sacred spheres of life with sledgehammer force. Suddenly, Jesus is everywhere, His presence inescapable. We may accept Him or reject Him, affirm Him, or deny Him, but we cannot ignore Him. Of course He is proclaimed in speech, song, and symbol in all Christian churches. But He rides every red-nosed reindeer, lurks behind every Barbie doll, and resonates in the most desacralized “Season’s Greetings.” Remotely or proximately, He is toasted in every cup of Christmas cheer. Each sprig of holly is a hint of His holiness. Every cluster of mistletoe is a sign He is here.” -Brennan Manning, Above All
This quote is always a source of perspective for me and everyone I share it with. I'd love to hear your thought on it in the comments below.
