主祷告:表达对耶稣降生的感恩,感谢他以人的形象来到世上,实现预言,并赐予我们超越理解的关系。 Rabbi Schneider:圣诞节的意义在于庆祝神以人的形象降临人间,这在"以马内利"(神与我们同在)的称号中得到体现。上帝以与人同在为乐,基督的降世是上帝对人类的追求的最终实现。上帝想要与你同在,改变你的生命,充满他的灵,引导你走向他的国度。基督的诞生邀请我们体验敬畏、困惑、惊奇和兴奋等情感;上帝创造万物的神谦卑地以无助婴儿的形象来到世上,这令人费解。 叙事者:耶稣的诞生应验了旧约的预言,证明了上帝的救赎计划正在按计划进行;“以马内利”(神与我们同在)象征着通过道成肉身实现的神与人之间的终极关系;耶稣道成肉身,表明上帝并没有远离人类的苦难和罪恶,而是来到我们中间与我们同在;耶稣以婴儿的形象来到世上,是为了更容易让人亲近,并表明他愿意与人类同在;耶稣的诞生象征着新的生命和希望,预示着人类与上帝和解的新创造;上帝与我们同在,并非遥远或冷漠,而是亲密地参与到我们的生活中,给予我们希望、救赎和永恒的关系。耶稣的诞生在马槽里,而非在宫殿里,这表明上帝看重的是谦卑和热情,而非排场。 这段叙述详细描述了耶稣诞生的场景,以及马利亚和约瑟夫内心的感受,突出了神迹的谦卑和神圣的结合。
