Evening ANDREW SUNITED CHRISTIAN REFORMED CHURCH BACK HOUR Sundays AlsoCHiC Dial Lutheran Church Windsor Road at Carole St Rev Harold Pa tier Sunday School a Strange Isn t it with the memory of Christmas so fresh in our minds that we still can think of God as one who is Just up there Certainly God Is above all visible and Invisible creation In a true sense he is indeed up there As theologians say he is transcendent The central point of Bethlehem surely Is that God is also and very much so down here God with us and until the end of the world But to be honest with ourselves haven wo enthroned God a bit quite a bit too much For all practical purposes are we indeed convinced hat God Is with us in us What done to the least of my brothers Is our relationship with the God Man Indeed as between and person Haven t we put God away so far In the that we lost track of him For ninny God is somebody who has done his job by getting the universe started and who is now silting somewhere on his throne looking down on us and monitoring our earthly actions Haven we made God too much of just an overseer Such a God in the heavens is a long way off from our lives He is rather unapproachable and even forbidding Wt 11 appear before him sometime to make on accounting but we rather t think about that and for the time being we vc got a breathing space Isn t this the way we often have come to regard Goo NOT A HEALTHY ATTITUDE I may be the point that we ve put God at arm length or heaven s length from us But I think we have been guilty of just such fin attitude And such an attitude is not healthy If there is one point in the Christmas story which is driven home very clearly it is that God became man or us and our salvation Do we even care about our salvation Whether we appreciate it or not in Christ God hag entered directly the history of mankind and every living soul and since then nothing can be the same anymore Not only can I not even bat an eye or move a finger without God almighty power me and it does not moke a bit of difference whether I admit this or not God Is also vitally interested in each one of us never out of his thought And since he made us because he wanted us to share In his life or love and infinite happiness he became man o tell us all about it and to give his life for us on a cross and ascended into heaven to prepare a place far us there As mentioned above the point of Bethlehem Is that God Is with us here on earth indeed he is within us His Kingdom as Chrlstsoclearlyassuredus is not merely to come but is already present In our OUR PI NOTHING Now we may shrug our shoulders when hearing this and we can make sure that he docs not find a place in our lives as he did not find a place In the Inn but this would be too bad not Tor God but for us In other words ifwelivcusirthertisnoGod who loves us if we do not react to this love every minute of our lives we rust rait God loving plan for us no matter whether all our own plans and ambitions In life are completely successful as a matter of fact all the other plans of ours are nothing compared with God masterplan The God or Bethlehem becaim man in order to be with us at In his great lave for us God nuturcsour growth Just like parental love natures the growth of a child Parents arc Just outside and above their children Through their love they are within the children shear prompting and assisting their growth IS UP TO Often we hear nowadays that parents and children cannot communicate anymore that they don I understand each other that there Is a communication gap Maybe there is no more communication between us and God maybe there Is a gap and we cannot or are not bridging It Indeed we cannot bridge this void But God can and did and the rest Is up to us The God of Bethlehem has made himself one of us and he did so in order to be with us at the very centre of our human growth leading us to complete human fulfilment And he told us very his studies at Millon
