What’s The Big Deal About Christmas?

-
If you are at all compelled by Christmas: The childlike wonder, the seasonal lighting up of the darkness, the joy of giving, the comfort & love the holiday brings, it is not what they call the 'magic' of Christmas that is at work here.  It is the true 'Spirit' of the season, God's own gracious, loving abundance given in Jesus Christ who said, “I am the Light of the World” (John 9:5).

‘He Is Risen!’ — Easter Art

Recently I’ve been enjoying a free channel on TV: Makeful has 4-hour competitions to find the Landscape & Portrait Artist Of The Year - I’m slowly learning what the panel of judges are looking for - they might say this is a painting about nothing! Where’s the subject?? (That’s the point!!) Framing the scene: cold, damp stone = Death Subject: empty space = Resurrection  Focal points: (near) burial cloth,  (receding) cross... the horror, grief and darkness fades away with the dawn of Sunday:  “O death where is your sting?” — see 1 Corinthians 15 Carving these words into the wood also etched them on my heart in a profound way this Easter: LOVE TOOK MY PLACE  Joy created a diorama of Easter story — the cross and the stone sealing the tomb:
