The Justice of Christmas

Our December Collection of Talks

So let us enter Advent in hope, even hope against hope. Let us see visions of love and peace and justice. Let us affirm with humility, with joy, with faith, with courage: Jesus Christ — the life of the world. 

So much of Christmas is more a capitalist long running commercial than it is focused on the Savior and the reason He left the right hand of the Father to enter into our unjust world.

We do not know exactly what people expect or anticipate at Advent, but we know it can be radically different, depending on one's situation in life: the poor, the homeless, those enveloped in war, the wealthy, the desperately ill or injured. What one awaits does not change the nature of Christ's coming, but it greatly influences how Christ is received. One thing is quite clear: it is the love of God that descends to earth in this child, a child of peace and goodwill. If one is not awaiting these things, one's celebration may be well-meaning but very wrong-headed. 

Hear from our guest speakers this month who live their lives helping people think justly and remember those marginalized in our world.
