The children of Israel were buried in the darkness of Egyptian slavery. YHVH Elohim thundered on to the scene through his servant Moses:
"Let there be light, and set my people free!"
During the Roman Empire, the children of Israel were crushed by the darkness of slavery to the letter of the law: they were slaves to a law that was given through Moses to keep them free. YHVH Elohim sent his only son, Jesus, to be the light in that dark world. The keepers of the law crushed Jesus and crucified him. But, as that seed fell to the earth and died, it brought forth a great tree of life and has produced fruit for the kingdom of God into the ages upon ages.
This world is in the darkness of slavery once more. The people of our present world have been seduced by all the trappings of this culture: the government will be your provider; your career will give you money to buy all the stuff that will satisfy your desires; and your religion will be your spiritual food and entertainment. But we have become slaves to the government that was designed to protect our freedom. We work for industries that take our valuable time and give us little money, and that money will perish when you use it. We are enslaved to a religion that whispers of the mercy and grace of god, and shouts from the housetops of the same god who is angry and coming in anger and judgement with fire on the men of this world.
We are the light of this world. We have the message of Christmas: you must be born from above! We are the sons and daughters of the heavenly Father. Our freedom is guaranteed by the law of the spirit of life. Our souls are satisfied when we do the work of our Father, and finish his will in our life. We are the true worshipers who worship the Father in spirit and truth.
The massive debts and deficits of this culture cannot quench the gift of love and freedom poured out to us without measure from the Father.
Merry Christmas
