2 John, meanwhile, had been locked up in prison. When he got wind of what Jesus was doing, he sent his own disciples 3 to ask, "Are you the One we've been expecting, or are we still waiting?" 4 Jesus told them, "Go back and tell John what's going on: 5 The blind see, The lame walk, Lepers are cleansed, The deaf hear, The dead are raised, The wretched of the earth learn that God is on their side. 6 "Is this what you were expecting? Then count yourselves most blessed!"
The mystery and miracle of Christmas is that it comes in the most unlikely places.
John wasn’t sure it was in Jesus - who was too soft for John.
We too are not always sure where God is in our midst - is God really there in the infant holy, infant lowly? Yes! And It is a holy mystery.
"The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science (and true religion).
Who ever does not know it and can no longer wonder, no longer marvel, is as good as dead.” Albert Einstein

Prayer thought for the week: “Lord, mysterious Lord, help me to believe what the eye cannot see, and what the mind cannot comprehend. Help me to believe that it did happen! And that it continues to happen, as love overcomes hate in our lives and through our actions.” Amen
