Christ is Born!
What’s your earliest memory? It’s always interesting to ask people this question and see what event stood out in their mind when they were just a little kid. Some people can remember events when they were very young, others have memories which start when they are a little older.
God’s memory is eternal. He is from everlasting. For Him every moment is “now” not yesterday or tomorrow or “some other time.” We are creatures who live in time. God is outside of time. We read in our Gospel passage today how our God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. Before the creation of the world we existed in the mind of God. At funerals we pray for the Lord’s “Eternal Memory” for those of our loved ones who have fallen asleep until His Second Coming. Our God is not the God of the dead but of the living, and it is in His Eternal Memory that we hope!
Christ is Born!
