I just wanted to take a break from my posts about fig trees to wish you all a merry Christmas.

I’ll leave you with a brief thought. Each of the gospels opens with the coming of Christ in one form or another. Reading each of them can give us great insight into the intentions of the authors. In Matthew, Christ is framed as the “second Moses”. The book of Mark focuses on Christ as the Son of God. The book of Luke frames him as the “second Adam”. Lastly, the book of John focuses on his Godhood - specifically, Christ as the Word made flesh.

I hope you are all doing well, and that you have a wonderful Christmas.
