My favourite Christmas Song is actually Stevie Wonder’s “Someday at Christmas” where he imagines what the world will be like when we finally know fully the gift of God’s life with us, a life of peace.
In someways I feel that this is a companion song. The day of the Lord’s coming in scripture is known both as a terrible day, when the order of this world ends and as a joyful day, when the bridegroom finally arrives and the true celebration can begin.
What would a Christmas look like where we allow Joy to take over, a delight in our part in God’s Kingdom and work of love on earth?
