Love came down at Christmas
Love all lovely, Love Divine
Love was born at Christmas
"Find an Infant" was the sign.
(with apologies somewhat
to Christina Rossetti)
The angel tells the shepherds, "You will find and Infant wraped in strips of cloth and lying in a manger."
The Infant in the manger is the Sign, the Sacrament of God's Love for us, Divine Love in the Flesh. And the really Good News is that God is Gracious Love, Freely Given Love, Love that we don't have to earn.
"When the kindness and love of God our Savior dawned upon us, it was not because of any good works that we ourselves had done; it was for no reason except God's own faithfu love that God saved us." (Titus 3:4)
