Defiant Christmas

The message of Christmas is a defiant one. In a culture of fear and anxiety, discontent and distraction, despair and cynicism, polarization and privilege, the invitation to hope, peace, joy, and love is a defiant invitation. Jesus is born into this world to offer us defiant hope, defiant peace, defiant joy and defiant love. Come, oh come, Emmanuel, and make us that calm, defiant people, marked by your presence.
