What do you suppose the Christmas holiday message would be for our world if we took away the commercialism of our festivities? If we were to somehow unplug the Christmas Machine? Let's turn ff the recording that says the Spirit of Christmas is giv- ing, givin , iving; take away the enticement to buy, buy, buy; chuck out the that families are happier and more secriS during this time of year. Let's stop for a moment to ponder the basic, un -embellished mes- sage of Christ's birth. One of the most significant changes brought to our world because of Jesus' birth is that Christians now believe history is going some- where. No longer do we see history running like a pet hamster spin- ning on its treadmill. Round and round with no place to go! The history of our world is not so pre -determined and our lives are not so predestined that we cannot achieve the goals we set before us. We can and do make a difference in our world by simply living life to the fullest. Tule part Christians play is to, in some way, help further the coming of Ood's Worn. We see history--ms-moving towards its God- designed,God-timed completion when Cruist's Kingdom will reign here on earth. The tension we must live with is knowing with certainty that Christ will come, but not knowing when. And so, we must watch and be ready! Advent is our time of rehearsal for Christ's coming again. We have four weeks in which to prepare for true worship of the Bethlehem Babe. Just two things to help us watch for Jesus's coming into our world and into our lives. Christ enters our everyday life - Just as Jesus first came to us during the commonplace of a busy town crowded with taxpayers ren- dering to Caesar, He still comes in our busy, workaday world Some will notice Him and others will not. One will receive Him and another will not even be aware of His presence. One person may know fulfillment, joy and eternal life, and another will be unblessed and unhanoured. These days before Christmas we will busy ourselves with rather commonplace routines in comparison with the most uncommon event of Christ's birth. Let us be careful not to become so preoccupied with preparations and so exhausted by them that we are not ready to enjoy the celebration! Christmas will come into the very ordinariness of our everyday lives! If we watch, we can find the commonness of our pre -Christmas days the little advents of Christ. All that is required to practice the presence of God is to live each moment with the awareness of God's love for each of us. Christ comes as an ordinary person - I recall seeing a Christmas play about a humble village cobbler and his wife. It was revealed to them that Christ would be their guest on Christmas Eve. They made sure everything was )ust right. And soon there was a knock at the door. The guest! But it wasn't Jesus. It was just a poor beggar. Later came an orphan and then an old woman. Each uninvited guest was treated with dignity and cared for, but the old cobbler was disappointed that Jesus had not come. We in the au- dience remembered the words of Scripture: "As you do it to one of the least of My people, you do it to Me." It appeases our senses to imagine Jesus as middle-class, well groomed, good natured, soft spoken, gentle mannered. We have diffi- culty imagining that Jesus had the dark skin of' the Israeli people we see on our televisions. If we are going to serve a God, its easier to think about serving one who makes few demands, and is so easy to get along with. But the Good News for Christians is also a demanding and challenging state- ment. Christ is in our midst - for sure. But in most cases, He will be dis- guised in the ordinary and the common people of our lives. If you want to respond to the love God has shown for you, try car- ing for your neighbour, offer to help support our food banks, sponsor a foster child, get involved in your world and reach out to the hurting and needing�pplc around you. Watch this! Christmas! Be ready to experience the presence of Christ in the least obvious ways or in the most unexpected places. Look with the eyes of expectation and listen with ears of hope.
