We didn’t repeat crafty myths when we told you about the powerful coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Quite the contrary, we witnessed his majesty with our own eyes. He received honor and glory from God the Father when a voice came to him from the magnificent glory, saying, “This is my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well-pleased.” We ourselves heard this voice from heaven while we were with him on the holy mountain. In addition, we have a most reliable prophetic word, and you would do well to pay attention to it, just as you would to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. Most important, you must know that no prophecy of scripture represents the prophet’s own understanding of things, because no prophecy ever came by human will. Instead, men and women led by the Holy Spirit spoke from God. (2 Peter 1:16-21, CEB)
A lot of people are going to celebrate a holiday in a couple days they think is a crafty myth. The birth of Jesus. Now it didn’t happen on December 25 and probably was during a warmer time given the events described in Luke. But it is not a myth.
The birth of Jesus is a step in the story of love we have from God for all of creation.
So as we celebrate Christmas, know you are loved, and the story is not a myth. While we may not know all the details, the foundation of the creator loving the world so much that they stepped down from their place and dwelt with us, to show us love is true.
You are deeply loved by God and by me.
I pray you never forget this.
Loving People. Loving God.
