Always Winter, Never Christmas?


This Gospel anticipates a world far different from C.S. Lewis’s Narnia, where it is “always winter, and never Christmas.” The promise of the Gospel is that it is “always Christmas.”  To be “in Christ” is to enjoy each morning as a Christmas morning with the family of God, celebrating the gift of God around the tree of life. (Kevin VanHoozer, This We Believe, John Armstrong and John Woodbridge, ed. Zondervan, 2000, p. 76.)
