From the darkness ofhis mother's womb,
born of blood,
and sweat, of
toil and pain,
came the light
of the
world
that night.
... he came
needing care,
needing shelter,
needing his
mother's breast,
light of the world,
born into darkness…
This is the wonder,
this is the joy,
God with us
Immanuel!
This is the good news…
this light,
this treasure,
born in darkness
bringing light.

The readings for advent this year are not comfortable and cosy. Isaiah 61 highlights Jesus' kingdom manifesto. Last night I discovered eternal echoes, a blog which I think reflects some of the challenges of Jesus' kingdom. Here, Here and here provide food for thought.
