Our Saviour is the Lord
Did you listen to the Queen’s Christmas Message? For some people this is a must. For others, “What message?” This year the Queen seemed to strengthen the way she expresses her Christian faith. It is a wonderful example of plain English conveying profound truths for ordinary minds.
How about this from the end of the speech?
“Finding hope in adversity is one of the themes of Christmas. Jesus was born into a world full of fear. The angels came to frightened shepherds with hope in their voices: 'Fear not', they urged, 'we bring you tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
'For unto you is born this day in the City of David a Saviour who is Christ the Lord.'
Although we are capable of great acts of kindness, history teaches us that we sometimes need saving from ourselves - from our recklessness or our greed.
