Advent Reflections

DAY 25

We believe in one God,
the Father of the whole Universe,
maker of all things visible and invisible;
And in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the Son of God,
begotten from the Father, only-begotten,
that is, of one being with the Father,
God from God, light from light,
true God from true God,
begotten not made,
of one being with the Father,
through whom all things came into being,
things in heaven and thing on earth,
who because of us human beings, and for
our salvation, came down,
and became incarnate
and became human,
and suffered,
and rose again on the third day,
and ascended to the heavens,
and will come to judge the living and dead,
and in the Holy Spirit.

Nicaean Creed (325 AD)
translated by Revd Dr Susan Durber

Matthew 16:13-16

Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” And they said, “Some say John the Baptist but others Elijah and still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”

As you gaze into the manger, today, who do you say the child is?
