What does Christmas mean? Richard Beck says that the arrival of Jesus means we come finding ourselves already loved. What does this simple truth mean for us today?
"Incarnation" by Richard Beck
I arrived to find myselfalready loved.
A forgiveness preceding, exceeding my first crime and my last.
A prior mercy, a predestined grace.
Anticipating my shame a welcome offered,
a healing before the pain.
I had imagined it to be my task to close the distance between us, to cross the chasm, scale the height.
My fault dictating my duty, though futile and impossible.
But I looked up hearing the angels sing to find You already here.
