painting by Donald Miller

Comfort and joy.

The Christ
born among us...
God with us.

For our comfort.
For our joy.

Don't recall all who
met up with
The Christ
leaving
comfortable,
joyful.

It's been said
(Karl Barth said it first)

"Good preaching is to
comfort the afflicted
and afflict the comfortable."


Who are the comfortable?
Who are the afflicted?
