Scripture

‘You are observing special days, and months, and seasons, and years. I am afraid that my work for you may have been wasted.’ (St Paul writing to the Galatians 4.10-11)

Reflection

Paul was not attacking the ways in which we observe Christmas! But he was anxious that we should be living the good life every day, every month, every season and every year. In the middle of winter and dark times, we are celebrating the birth of a child who brought light – the child who as man revealed God as Spirit never defeated by darkness. As daylight hours lengthen with the new year, can we may each day special by extending the time we spend ‘walking in the light’?
