A NEW UNDERSTANDING

A NEW UNDERSTANDING


In today's world=ESPECIALLY politically
It seems IMPOSSIBLE
To get two sides
To sit down=and speak
Together CIVILLY


It seems impossible
To devise PLANS for
Peace=for justice=for reconciliation
FOR UNDERSTANDING


“........Peace be within you” Psalm 122:8


So HOW do people break
THROUGH the wall
How do people find
A NEW UNDERSTANDING
With one another


ISAIAH says we need
To look no further
Than a LITTLE CHILD=
Who will come to BRING
Peace and justice
Who comes to bring


A NEW UNDERSTANDING


“The calf and the lion
Shall browse together


With a LITTLE CHILD
To guide them” Isaiah 11:6


This ADVENT let Jesus come
And RULE in your heart
Let him bring you
A new PEACE
Let him bring you
A NEW UNDERSTANDING


Let us REMEMBER
This Advent=this CHRISTMAS SEASON


That Jesus comes
NOT only to bring us
PERSONAL peace and salvation


But to bring the world
A new BETTER UNDERSTANDING
Between one another


“Give me UNDERSTANDING
So that I
May keep your law


And obey it
With all my heart” Psalm 119:34


“With all wisdom
And UNDERSTANDING
He made known to us


The mystery=of his will
ACCORDING to his good pleasure
Which he purposed IN CHRIST” Ephesians 1:8-9


This Advent=this Christmas season
Let Jesus bring you
An UNDERSTANDING


That leads to enemies seeking peace=
FINDING common ground and
A LIFE that leads to
Creating a COMMON HUMANITY


YES=let the
LITTLE BABE of BETHLEHEM
Be your GUIDE
To ALL hope and UNDERSTANDING
For this world


“But when he-
The SPIRIT OF TRUTH comes
He will GUIDE you
Into all the truth


He will NOT speak
On his own


He will speak ONLY
What he hears
And will tell you
What is YET TO COME” John 16:13


Dear Lord=this ADVENT
Let us FIND PEACE=and
A NEW UNDERSTANDING for us
And for ALL THE WORLD


In Jesus' name=and the name of our ALMIGHTY EVERLASTING FATHER
