The Joy of Christ's Birth and the Quest for Light

The good news of great joy is that the world's true king has been born! This Savior-King is going to free us from our chains and lead us out of the dark. Christmas is the time of year when Christians are called to repeat the sounding joy. The world’s true King didn't come to reign over the old politics of fear. Christ the King came to lead us out of fear and into the politics of love. Jesus invites us into a new kind of politics. It is the way of peace. There is no way to peace, peace is the way. Jesus is peace. Instead of predatory, our stance is benevolent. We don't have to hate. We don't have to fight. We don't have to fear. We can have goodwill toward our sisters and brothers, and toward all of our fellow humans!
