So it was yesterday, when I saw the one accompanying
this post, outside the Reformed Church of Oradell, several miles from where I
live in Bergen County, NJ.
All over the world, people continue to celebrate
births as miraculous signs of joy and hope. The birth of Jesus in Bethlehem 2,000 years ago
was even more so—an act of faith by Mary in bearing this child under unusual
and strained circumstances, and an act of faith by God that human beings,
despite their history and tendency towards sin, were worth such a dramatic
divine intervention in earthly affairs.
