Today's reading was from Luke 18 I am reading from the Message translation and it begins with "Jesus told them a story..."
Jesus told many stories as he went through his ministry. It is something that seems to have been lost a little in modern society. However, Jesus was a master at it. He could take the ordinary and every day things and activities and use them as ways to get his message across.
I am convinced that we need to do better at this we need to use Christmas to share the truth of the gospel without it being about the tragic commercialisation of Christmas. Jesus did not condemn he loved we need to do this also.
Try to turn the festive to the faithful, the celebration to the consecrated, Santa to spiritual, gift giving to life giving. It is these things that are what Christmas is about!
