thoughts for the second Advent
The holiday season brings many people closer together again. Unfortunately, often only in relation to the selection of Christmas gifts. And it is often a gauntlet when it comes to finding the "right" gift ...
It may not be so hard to respond to personal preferences of other people, and so as to implement ideas. It is not about to spend an immense amount of money for various gifts. While there may be people who expect expensive gifts, but is that - to become something profound - within the meaning of the "inventor"?
Jesus was already on the date of birth attended by three people who brought him gifts. These gifts were symbolic. It does not matter if they were actually made or not. The fact is that anyone can be a gift for other people. Who loves who gives himself. And who trusts in God who has no fear that he is not accepted. On Christmas Eve, then leads to friction when the real meaning of Christmas is not understood, and essential apart from the importance which represents the birth of Jesus for people of faith, just after the "recovery" of the evening as a family celebration or gift orgy is sought.
was born a man who grew into a personality. In every man put gifts that he can project both internally and externally. These endowments are the ones who can bring him closer to his fellow man. If these hidden gifts or was he never permitted to live out these gifts because he has been living the wrong life, then it will be difficult. A person clearly understands what it can do. She has understood what is at stake in life. She has stopped looking for answers to boring questions affecting only superficial structures of life. Jesus grew up and was in his early years, ready to throw his personality to bear. He has no was "fighting" lost because he denounced his foes delivered. No, he considered himself a son of God, who is called to bring people inner peace, and to point to the fact that the man is grown deep with God.
There is nothing worse than self-aggrandizement. Every person who is anxious to improve themselves, while generally on the other people, and creation "forget" ensures that the conditions are in this world the way they are. Jesus makes clear that no man may idolize themselves. As a substitute of idolatry often used the money to depend on which everything seems. It would go to people just about to throw your own personality into the equation, without any benefit to the ego - whether in the form of success, career, money or material goods - food for thought. The man can grow at its tasks only if he is not even defined as sole beneficiaries. The life of Jesus of course makes a nice example of what dedication can bring to God and the use of personal gifts for the benefit of others.
Christmas can bring new personalities in the world because people stop, to raise himself, and therefore no longer humiliate other human beings and all creation.
