VERSE & VOICE FROM SOJOURNERS 20DEZ21



 CHRISTMAS WEEK, ADVENT, it is a blessed time, a celebration of the faith and grace, the Magnificat of Mary, the faith of Joseph, the love of God the Father by sending us our Savior, His Son, Jesus Christ. 

MERRY CHRISTMAS! 

Verse and Voice
Verse of the day

This One shall be called Wonderful Counselor, the Strength of God, Eternal Protector, Champion  of Peace. This dominion, and this peace, will grow without end, with David’s throne and realm sustained with justice and fairness, now and forever.

- Isaiah 9:6-7 (The Inclusive Bible)
Voice of the day

It’s tempting to turn Christmas into a safe holiday that asks little of us. But that would ignore the prophetic, subversive life of Jesus.

- John Gehring, “Why Christmas is Radical
Prayer of the day
 
Direct me to use the time I have on this earth to embody the life of Jesus, to sustain justice and fairness.
