The Silent Word
The poet of our theme carol, “What Child is This,” penned the phrase “the silent Word is pleading.” Luke paints a picture of the 1st century world into which Jesus was born. (Luke 1:5-25; 57-80) Our vision of that child may be the soothing lullaby and the silent night, but the reality of babies, and of that time in history, was a “crying out.”
This Sunday – the first week of Advent – we will ponder how we will cry out for true peace for all people. How we may soothe the trauma of the world in our time.
