‘I will make you into a great nation,
and I will bless you;
I will make your name great,
and you will be a blessing.
I will bless those who bless you,
and whoever curses you I will curse;
and all peoples on earth
will be blessed through you.’
Gen 12:2&3
Abram was blessed to be a blessing,
but he is not alone.
You and I too,
can be blessed
to be a blessing.
One from Abram’s family
would come to be
Christmas –
the incarnation –
the promised Messiah
revealed.
A primitive mural painting of Jesus, Mary and Joseph in the Keldby Church on the island of Mon, Denmark.
You and I
can live in that promise
revealed.
Then we too,
can herald his coming,
his return.
Then we too
have been blessed
to be a blessing.
