In today’s GB News Advent calendar we explore the disconnect between aspiration and reality.
“There’s a disconnect between the familiar story of Jesus, his birth light and life and love breaking into the world, and then the reality that we see unfolding on our TV screens day by day.
“But what I want to say is that Christmas is not wishful thinking. It’s not naivety. It’s not escapism. Christmas is a message of defiant hope. The Birth of Jesus is about the setting of the world to rights. As the Christmas carol proclaimed, peace on earth and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled.”
