God’s Surprise
Who would think that what was needed, To transform and save the earth
Might not be a plan or army, Proud in purpose, proved in worth?
Who would think despite derision, that a child should lead the way?
God surprises earth with heaven, Coming here on Christmas day.
Shepherds watch and wise men wonder, Monarchs scorn and angels sing.
Such a lace as none would reckon, hosts a holy, helpless thing.
Stable beasts and by passed strangers, watch a baby laid in hay;
God surprises earth with heaven, coming here on Christmas day.
Centuries of skill and science-Span the past from which we move.
Yet experience questions whether with such progress, we improve.
While the human lot we ponder, Lest our hopes and humor fray,
God surprises us with heaven, coming here on Christmas day.
Christmas Infancy Narrative
In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that the whole world should be enrolled.
This was the first enrollment, when Quirinius was governor of Syria. So all went to be enrolled,
each to his own town. And Joseph too went up from Galilee from the town of Nazareth to Judea,
to the city of David that is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David, to
be enrolled with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child. While they were there, the time came
for her to have her child, and she gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him in swaddling
clothes and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. Now there
were shepherds in that region living in the fields and keeping the night watch over their flock.
The angel of the Lord appeared to them and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they
were struck with great fear. The angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I proclaim to
you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For today in the city of David a savior
has been born for you who is Christ and Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find an
infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.” And suddenly there was a multitude
of the heavenly host with the angel, praising God and saying: “Glory to God in the highest and on
earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.” When the angels went away from them to heaven,
the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go, then, to Bethlehem to see this thing that has taken
place, which the Lord has made known to us.” So they went in haste and found Mary and
Joseph, and the infant lying in the manger. When they saw this, they made known the message
that had been told them about this child. All who heard it were amazed by what had been told
them by the shepherds. And Mary kept all these things, reflecting on them in her heart. Then the
shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, just as it had
been told to them. Luke 2:1-20

Quizás ustedes no esperen que se hable de cosas negativas en Navidad; pero una mirada al mundo nos dice que muchas cosas no andan bien. La mayoria de las veces las relaciones entre las personas se estropean porque la gente no cumple su palabra. Esto crea conflicto y división que, a medida que va escalando y se va enredando mas y mas, puede resultar en conflictos familiares, laborales, e incluso en guerras; y justamente hoy, día de Navidad, queremos hablar de paz.. Mi mamá solía decir que una vez que se ha dado la palabra, uno no se puede volver atrás. Es como entregar el propio honor. Sin ser promesas, un ofrecimiento, una invitación, una seguridad, no se retiran. No necesitamos firmar un contrato para saber eso. La palabra dada es importantísima: nos ata y nos obliga; sin embrago, hoy día, muchas personas no se sienten atadas ni obligadas por sus propias palabras. Se promete fidelidad en el matrimonio y luego se rompe; se ofrecen ciertas cosas en el trabajo, y luego no se cumple; se les presentan a los hijos las normas de la casa y luego algunos propios padres las incumplen. Ese no es el caso Con Dios. El tiene solo una palabra y no la va a cambiar ni a retirar. La palabra de Dios es fidelidad, no se cambia de un día para otro; es buena noticia, porque promete la salvación. ¿Qué es la salvación para nosotros? Alguna vez alguien me contaba que se había salvado de un grave accidente. Muy impresionante y muy fuerte, pero no tanto como la salvación que trae la Palabra de Dios que supone sanación de todo lo que nos ata, de todas nuestras mentiras y las mentiras de los demás. Es la mejor noticia, la que hace todas las cosas nuevas y de la que podemos estar seguros—de la única de la que nos podemos fiar en este mundo. Esto es, en realidad, lo que celebramos en Navidad, la venida al mundo de un Dios encarnado que es siempre un si. El es nuestra salvación y nuestra única posibilidad de paz.
