Humanity's Salvation

No event can contend with the emergence of 
new life fresh with the dew of spring's
awakening to excite, awe and delight for there 
are scant few observers and participants alike 
who are not taken with the birth of a dimpled 
child much less new births of any creature 
presenting as an exquisite immature version of the
maturity that will eventually overtake them.
Without doubt it is monumentally fitting that 
the whole of creation appears to be fixated on 
the birth of a child as a momentous occasion 
in world history leading to the emergence of a 
worldwide religion. The elder version hailed 
as the Prince of Peace delivered his universal 
message in a transmission of earthly life as a 
gesture from the God of Abraham. And how 
peculiar it is that it had to be a Jewish child 
whose identity as the voice of God transfixed 
vast multitudes. How much more peculiar that 
those worshipping multitudes chose those of 
the Prince's heritage to single out as unfit for 
habitation among the faithful, to view them 
with scorn and derision while hailing the 
miraculous deliverance proffered by the Almighty
through a Jewish heritage as a light unto the
world in one fell swoop gifting the world with
the brilliant light of salvation gratefully 
accepted while rejecting iniquitous Judaism.
