Preparation for Christmas, Part 4

“A child is born to us, and he is called: Strong God.”[i]

“In him all the peoples of the earth will be blessed.”[ii]

Actually, all people are waiting for him even if they do not know it,

for we are created for him.

Actually, all people seek him even if they do not know it,

for God has put this search within them.

Actually, all people can find him even if they don’t know it,

for “Ask, and it will be given to you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.”[iii]

Actually, all people love him even if they don’t know it,

because they are loved by him!

Actually, all people are looking for a home even if they do not know it,

for they are called to live in the family of God

Actually all people seek true peace even if they do not know it,

for the Saviour is the “Prince of Peace” [iv].

Why don’t they know it? Has no one told them? Have they not heard it?

Therefore hear all: A child is born to us in Bethlehem.

He is the one you are waiting for

It is he whom you seek

He it is who lets himself be found by you

He is the one you love

He is your home

He is your peace

and more:

It is he who waits for you

It is he who seeks you

It is he who finds you

It is he who loves you

He wants to be at home with you

He is the Prince of Peace

Don’t miss any more time! God has been waiting for you for so long! Then you will be blessed!
