The Message of Christmas:

Life Loves You

From the December 1974 issue of The Christian Science Journal


How has life treated you? Has it promised you much? And have the promises been fulfilled? Would you rate your life as good, fair, poor, or what? And what does Christmas tell you about life and about yourself?

Well, whatever our concept of life, something happened when Christ Jesus was born that made a difference. And if we understand it now, it makes a difference today. If we think we have failed, we can make a fresh start. If we are afraid for the future, we can change the future. If we have lost interest in life, we can find something to live for. If we have unused talents, we can find them and know how to express them where they will be needed. If we are sick, we can be well. If we think we may die, we can understand Life and learn that in reality man never dies.

All this new meaning for life comes to us because a child was born twenty centuries ago in Bethlehem. But more: The child was born because the nature of real Life is to reveal itself. And Life reveals itself always as the divine Principle, Love.
