Christ is Born.

More than 2000 years ago, God sent His beloved son, to save mankind, that was heading towards a certain destruction.

He took birth as a human being, in a humble cattle shed, to parents most ordinary, with shepherds to keep them company . He chose the poor, the needy, the oppressed, for they lived in the hope of seeing a new tomorrow, God’s gift of deliverance.

Though known as a king, a warrior and Saviour, He chose not the palace, nor the nobility. He did not choose the battle ground or the political field . With no crown, no sword or shield, He conquered the greatest enemy of all, death and He reigns Supreme .

He taught us to love , to serve , to advocate peace . That the other is more important than self and to lead a life of gratitude at all times. When on earth the Holy One lived, a life of sinless devotion, to His Father above and to the least of us. He gave His life as a sacrifice so that we could live and not die . Even in the most agonising moments, He chose not His Will but that of His Father .

A life so short, yet so old . The story of the good news that spread the world over. Today we need to remind ourselves of that good news, no matter our circumstances, no matter what the coming year holds, our greatest victory lies in the Cross and the empty grave .
