God Gomes To Us
Lesson for December 23, 1962
fl___
THE truth about Christmas is
not to be seen on the Christ*
mas tree, not in the bargain-base*
ment Santa Clauses, not in the
holly and the ivy, and not in every
Christmas carol. Yet some of the
carols tell the
story truly; “Im
manuel has come
to thee . . .” or
“Thou didst leave
thy throne . .
or “Word of the
Father Now in
flesh appearing”;
and others telling
_ the same story.
Dr. Foreman The deep truth
about Christmas is that the day
celebrates the coming of God to us.
The very name Immanuel means
“God with us.” Now it would not
at all be true to say that God had
never come to this world before;
he was here in creation, he has
been here in history, in the beau
ty and the order of all this vast
universe. The prophets, one and
all, knew him, and the poets sang
of him. But what was new about
the first Christmas (and what it
began) was that now men could
not only know that God is, we
know what God is like.
God is Expression
Jesus Christ is the translation
of God into the language of hu
man living. He is the Eternal in
the pattern of time. There are
philosophers who do not see how
the High God can possibly ex
press himself; but the Bible tells
us of a God who is not content
with expressing himself, he de
sires to communicate with his
children. In John I Christ is called
the Word. He lived to be, he lived
to tell. He is God’s messenger
but also he is God’s message. The
Word—the Expression, the Mes
sage, the Communication—of God
“became flesh’’ on that first
Christmas. Anyone might have
thought that if God came to the
world he had made, to the people
he had made, in a new way,—
they might have thought it would
oe a new form of words, a new
theology, a new creed to believe.
But no—God expressed himself
above all in a man who was first
a little baby. God’s Word to us
is put in the form we can under
stand, in one who was made “in
dll respect like as we are, yet
without sin.”
Qod Comes In Light
Poets and writers of Christmas
carols have often made something
of the Christmas-eve picture,— a
dark hillside, no light anywhere
except for the stars overhead and
the one light in the stable. The
Apostle John, writing his own
Christmas story, says nothing
about the inn or the stable or the
shepherds. But he does say some
thing about the light. John is
thinking beyond Bethlehem to the
generations yet to come. He sees
what the story of this child, grown
a man, this Gift of God to man,—
what this Man, this Godman, will
mean to the race of man. He is
the Light, God’s light, “lighting
every man.” John does not fail
to see that the picture has a dark
side. There were and there are
some who do not receive him.
He is a Light shining in darkness.
The darkness never has under
stood the Light, the darkness
never has quenched the Light;
but yet the darkness is still there.
To drop the parable a moment,
the coming of God to us in Christ,
the Light of the World, can mean
and does mean nothing at all to
those who will not see.
unce we understand me meaning
of Christmas, the coming of God
to men, to all men who will turn
and see, then we understand there
is something to be done about it.
No one on whom the Light has
shone can be content that it has
shone on him alone. Those who
have found the Light are bound
to spread the Light, indeed to be
(as Jesus said) the light of the
world themselves.
But if we stopped here, it would
leave us with a discouraging ques
tion. How can we be the light of
the world? Again John points to
the answer. To those who receive
the Light, God gives “power to
become children of God.” By our
selves, we cast a pretty feeble
light. By ourselves, we are weak.
God’s “coming” is not like the
coming of man. People come and
go away, and we are not greatly
changed. But when God comes,
and we open our lives to him, we
begin to be changed from the
very core of our lives. As we
share in the vision of God, so we
share in the power of the God
who comes to us in Jesus.
