Perfect as Our Father in Heaven
Jesus, who is in the bosom of the Father and knows him up close, shows us the divine face. He wants us to be perfect as our Father. It is quite clear what it means to be perfect as our Father in heaven: to go beyond what the law and the prophets command and forbid. ...
Fulfill with All Our Heart What God Wants
Jesus is the most blessed of those who are blessed since they fulfill what God wants. And he is the way that leads to God, and to bliss and peace. There is much we yet have to do to fulfill Christ’s wish that all Christians be one. And that we let others know by our...
Delight the Earth and Enlighten the World
Jesus is the great light that shines on those who walk in the dark. He is the delight of those who live in the land of gloom. As God’s wisdom, Jesus rejoices in the earth and finds his delight in humans (see Prov 8, 31). And, of course, for him to be with us also...

Disrupt the State of Affairs Today
Jesus shows us his glory and mercy. Such epiphany makes known that the time has come to disrupt things as they now are. Magi from the east show up in Jerusalem. And the question they ask turns out to undermine the powers that be. For it troubles King Herod greatly...
Hold Dear and Reflect on All These Things
The baby lying in the manger bears the name Jesus and is Mary’s Son. He calls us to hold dear all that we hear and see about him. The Savior of the world shows he is as though no one and nothing as just a child (SV.EN VI:170). A baby, yes, like other babies that...
Contemplate the Baby Lying in the Manger
Jesus is the Savior, Messiah and Lord. To know and accept him, we first have to contemplate the baby lying in the manger. One can take it, for sure, that the shepherds cannot bear contemplate the very bright light that shine around them. For great fear strikes them....
