Year one of the Common Era (CE) is understood as the year Jesus was born (though the Gospels and historical accounts don’t pinpoint a year). When Jesus was born, everything changed. The Creator had become part of the Creation in a new way and changed how we know our God and ourselves.
A whole new life begins for us as we encounter Jesus. We are refreshed, renewed and become a new creation, growing in Spirit and grace. May we be renewed in the life of Jesus this Christmas and always.
