Honestly, I have trouble with this one. Something about the mystery being too vast to fit into one mere decade... Perhaps more to do with the fact that this one's constantly being presented to us, and we did just spend a whole season meditating on it not too long ago...
Still, the Virgin gave birth to a Son, and the animals in the stable rejoiced, and the angels cried out in glory, and Israel came to worship, and the Gentiles came with gifts in adoration, and even nature preached to the world the joy of the birth of the Savior, the King of Kings...
I do find it telling that we have more beautiful Christmas hymns than Easter hymns, though we are an Easter people (and Easter is about three times longer than Christmas). There's just something enchanting about the birth of the King...

Does anyone else think of the Guide when they hear Easter now?
ReplyDeleteWherein "Easter" means: "small, flat and light-brown".
It's especially fun whenever anyone says that we are an Easter people...
