Hi friends, I wrote the following poem 20 years ago the day after Christmas. It’s called “Christmas Truth” and I’ve packaged it here between two great verses of Scripture.
“Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'”
John 14:6, ESV
Wise men left their homes on a wild star chase
and despite a lying king
found Truth…
Wrapped in simplicity.
Surrounded by obscurity.
No fireworks or fanfare,
only wise men who allowed themselves to be foolish
for Truth…
Celebrating Christmas around a feeding troth and
exchanging gifts amidst stench.
Their richest gifts, however, were dwarfed by the possibility of receiving a snow-white heart
from Truth…
Written in the stars and
offered in a chalice of infancy.
“But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.”
John 1:12-13, ESV
I wish you and yours a merry and joyous Christmas!
