Window in the Skies

The shackles are undone,
The bullets quit the gun,
The heat thats in the sun,
Will keep us when there's none.

The rule has been disproved,
The stone has been moved,
The grave is now a groove,
All debts are removed.

Window in the Skies - U2

Ah... Christmas... with the many activities and giving of gifts. Friends meeting up; the afternoon conversations; the shopping sprees; the late night suppers. Sometimes in the midst of all this activities, we forget the essence of Christmas. That is God becoming man. Jesus became one of us - a baby with ten fingers, ten toes, crying to be fed, burping - human.

Immanuel. God with us. Jesus provided us a Window to the Skies - a glimpse of who God is.

Fast forward 33 years. A Cross. A mother wailing. Disciples despairing. A whisper of "It is finished". A death. And then three days later - The stone that has been moved, and the grave that is empty. The rule has been disproved and all debts removed. Opening a window to the Skies above - the way to God through Jesus.
