The Seventh Day of Christmas
Within Jerusalem
Even if this should seem impossible in the eyes of the remnant of this people, shall it be impossible in my eyes also? I will rescue my people . . . and I will bring them back to dwell within Jerusalem.
The faithful have seen great destruction; we have suffered much and long. The remnant hears an impossible pronouncement; we cannot believe what we hear. God comes to rescue and save not as a warrior but as a child. And this child becomes the new Jerusalem.
We long to be safe inside the city walls, and yet we are already there . . . within Jerusalem, in this child, in Christ. For Christ this day is in us.
