God's Preference

Great line:
God’s preferred philological form.
Billy Kangas on Patheos

In Context on Patheos (presentation edited for emphasis):

Don’t get me wrong, Jesus’ birth is a significant part of Christmas, but it’s not the primary point. This can be seen in the Gospel reading for Christmas day, which is John 1:1–18.

• Christmas is not simply Jesus’ birthday, but a feast of the incarnation.
• Christmas is a sacrament; it is a time in which we remember the highest outward sign of the inward grace God offers to the world.
• God gives expression of his love in the universal language of flesh and blood, and offers the world a grace that communicates the totality of human existence –
