"Behold, this child is destined for the fall and rise of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be contradicted- and you yourself a sword will pierce- so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed." - Luke 2:34-35
I have this deep conviction in my heart that we were made for perfection and greatness. I believe that the way to perfection is found in love- an emptying of oneself and giving completely to other- and I find this love in Jesus Christ. As we celebrate His Nativity, His coming into the world, and His consecration to the Lord (biblical reference in the beginning), let us ask ourselves a couple questions- Will I rise with Christ this day? Will I be a contradiction to the world? Will I pierce myself with His sword and reveal my heart to the world?
