Scripture: Luke 1:5-25, 57-80 The poet of our theme carol, “What Child is This,” penned the phrase “the silent Word is pleading.” Our vision of the child in the manger may flow from images of a silent night and sleeping in heavenly peace, but the reality of babies, and of that time in history, is that of a “crying out.” It was a time when many were silenced, and the need for prophesying justice in the midst of trauma was great. Zechariah does this when his silence is lifted. The Word became Flesh for such a time, bringing a larger vision of peace than we expected.
