The Second Sunday of Christmas Year A

The Second Sunday of Christmas - Year A

Jeremiah 31:7–14
Ephesians 1:3–14
John 1:1–18 .

It is very difficult, in the middle of the school
run or the supermarket shop, to remember
that in us God is fulfilling the whole purpose
of creation. It is even more difficult to look at
the news or read the papers and believe that
there even is a purpose to the world at all,
 let alone that it is in the process of being fulfilled.
But both John and Ephesians assure us that it is.
God’s purpose for his world is in-built from the
 moment of creation. We are created through
 our redeemer and redeemed by our creator.
God in Christ is our source and our destiny.
As the Father creates us in the image of the Son,
through the agency of the Son and the Spirit,
already the purpose is born that through them
