It is not possible to celebrate the birth of Jesus, the Christ, the very
Son of God, in a single day. The church gives us a season—from
Christmas eve to the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord—to reflect with
wonder on what God has done and is doing in our world. The gift of this
child who would go on to give his very life for our salvation is the
source of our hope in every age and through every storm. In
Christmas, Season of Wonder and Hope, meditate with Catherine Upchurch on three New Testament passages that invite us to move through wonder to hope.
