Silent Night, Holy Night...
Why was the night silent? At the birth of a Saviour, of God.
The only announcement was that of the angels to the shepherds.
The only clue was that of the leading of the star to the wisemen.
And Joseph and Mary.
Some spreading of word by the shepherds.
Jerusalem was disturbed but not too stirred (except sometime later with the death warrant).
And then another 30 years of almost non-existence.
Silent Night, Holy Night...
Can I be silent?
Nowadays we celebrate the day with much more sound and sight.
Should we one day observe a silent night and cause the world to wonder.
Because He will come again like a thief in the silence of the night but that night will not be as silent as the first.
