And, as Jesus' life made clear, in order for this new life to begin, for this birthing to take place, the old way had to die. It is because of our enslavement to death and everything that seeks to destroy life within us that Jesus was born. His birth will lead to our final confrontation with death, so that in our dying to death itself we will know the power of his life. The cross is already on the horizon. With his birth everything has changed.
Life can never be the same again.
Nothing can ever be the same again. Amen 1 Cf.
