Faith for Living

"An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Saviour has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger."- Luke 2:9-12; 13-14

i.

The Holy Spirit came down upon the Prince of peace
And the top of heaven opened
Thus anointed and seized by sacred power
He was ready
To die & be an infallible human sacrifice.
Visible to his disciples after his resurrection
Jesus became one mediator and a future ransom
For the human society
Having subjects from all ends of the planet.

ii.

Imparting life to the perishing world
Even to the dead by calling them out of their
Tombs and graves Christ spoke:
Hear, oh hear, suicide terrorists and war-mongers!
Only the righteous would be the eternal children
Of their eternal Father.
He washed his disciples with water
Thus sanctified, in holy garments dressed
They started acting as his messenger.

iii.
Aaron, the faithful Witness, spoke to eight Nuclear Powers:
“Remember the Great War, the slaughter
Battlefield butchery, mutilated soldiers
And sickening horror
False military glory in Hiroshima
Destroy the nuclear bombs
Come out of nuclear gloom
Obey the Word
Let Truth be your anchor
Let non-violence be your deepest thought.
Away away from infernal Fire
A single lunatic act will eliminate the world
Human race is insecure
Savagery in our genetic code will
Destroy the planet.”
(Aaron weeps quietly. The celestial voice from the heaven is sounded.)

iv.

Celestial Voice: The Child is born
To revive Non-violence.
Imitate the Child
Born in Bethlehem
Belonging to all places and ages
Then, Gabriel spoke to Virgin Mary:
“God is with you
God has favored you
To conceive the Son
By divine power.”
