His law is love and His gospel is peace
Dec 14th
O Holy Night!
Truly He taught us to love one another,
His law is love and His gospel is peace.
Chains he shall break, for the slave is our brother.
And in his name all oppression shall cease.
Social Justice or Practical Mercy, Its at the very heart of God. It was embedded throughout Jesus’ own story:
- Jesus was Homeless as He didn’t start His life in a home. And toward the end of His life He said, Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.
- As a Refugee He had to flee with His family to Egypt.
- There was Social Injustice shown to all the toddler boys that died.
- He was an Immigrant (a person who comes to live permanently in a foreign country) [i.e. Coming from His home country of Heaven, to Earth]
- Thus making Him an alien, an outsider, & living in exile for a time.
Remember this Christmas season “His law is still love & His awesome good news is still Peace!”
Merry Christmas
