Christmas 2012

In Polish - po polsku: BOZE NARODZENIE 2012
 
CHRISTMAS 2012
(At yet another angle)

I - Starting from the beginning:
Adam and Eve

Eve - she liked to pamper herself

Adam – didn’t fall behind
Misled, they got what they wanted - knowledge
But they lost something they had - innocence
With the loss of innocence appeared sense of guilt
(plus a few other inconveniences of life)
And need of hope to regain innocence
So, somehow, return to
Paradise Lost...

Unfortunately, something for something

Knowledge for the price of innocence

In the opposite direction, however, it does not work
- the gained knowledge is not for replace...

II - The Wise Men (Magi) from the East

(more modern - scientists, researchers)
“After Jesus was born in Bethlehem
in Judea, during the time of King Herod,
wise men from the East came
to Jerusalem and asked,
‘Where is the one who has been born
King of the Jews?
We saw his star when it rose
and have come to worship him."
Those Wise Men put a good question
to frightened (!) king Herod – first
They knew what they were looking for – second
They wanted to pay tribute to the One,
about whom they ‘d already known – third

Knowledge and hope were leading them

Because Christmas - the birth of Jesus Christ
Is the Gift-Offer
It is a time of hope
- to recover the innocence in the eyes of God

There is something to think

It is always worth learning from Wise Men
And give glory to God
For Christmas Hope

therefore

MERRY CHRISTMAS FULL OF HOPE
AND CONTEMPLATIVE HAPPY NEW YEAR 2013!
WISH YOU ALL
