Advent Reflection: December 19: Luke chapter 19
Read Luke Chapter 19 (you can use a Bible you have, or follow the link)
Do you remember back in chapter 3 John the Baptist had something to say to the tax collectors? Here Jesus meets one of them… little Zacchaeus who climbed the sycamore tree so that he could see Jesus. He got more than the glimpse he hoped for… Jesus invited himself round to tea and Zac’s house… and Zac’s life was transformed. He had encountered Jesus and life would never be the same again…
O holy Child of Bethlehem
Descend to us, we pray
Cast out our sin and enter in
Be born to us today
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell
O come to us, abide with us
Our Lord Emmanuel
May the Christ enter into your experience this Christmas time.
With love, truth and light… this Advent-tide
