第15届全国大选之后，大多数马来西亚人都感到无比的焦虑。在组建联合政府之前，领袖们愿意放下过去的不满，并在马来西亚政治中史无前例地提出道歉。人们重新燃起善治的希望，相信新政府将关注她子民的福祉。在此背景下，我们迎来了将临期。看哪，我将一切都更新了。启示录 21:5 提醒我们为什么耶稣基督特意取了奴仆的形象（腓立比书 2:6-7）。教会之所以存在，是因为上帝的使命，是以这种性质来服务社区。教会必须以这最初的使命作为教会的核心，并成为我们所有圣诞活动的目的。 路加福音 1：46-55 中马利亚的赞美诗让我们瞥见耶稣的诞生对社区带来的转变或影响。我们在多数的教会所看到耶稣诞生的场景都没有把足够的焦点放在这位年轻的怀孕少女和她所唱出的革命性诗歌。在这一幕里，穷人和被边缘化的人成为了主角并得到了重视。潘霍华，一位被纳粹处决的德国牧师和神学家，称马利亚的赞美诗为“最热情、最狂野，甚至可说是有史以来最有革命性的诗歌”。这首诗歌是一首充满盼望的歌——对于那些受伤的、身心面对障碍的、渴望得到尊重和尊严的群体来说是个好消息。上帝所看重的，借着祂儿子耶稣基督向我们显明，并要成为教会所看重的。我们的圣诞节需要从以会友为中心的庆祝转为以他人或非会友为中心的庆祝。我们的庆祝活动必须是使命性的。 圣诞节提醒我们，基督在我们里面，也通过我们并在祂所有的创造物中继续工作。像现在这样的时刻，当我们的国家正在努力带来积极的改变时，教会必须活出基督的样式，在上帝所看重的人事物中带来拯救、重建和修复。我们的邻舍不应该看到基督徒所庆祝的圣诞节只不过是一个欢庆的活动，而是能够在这庆祝中看到全人类的盼望。作为这恩典的受惠者，我们必须意识到这是一个转捩点。让我们的群体成为国家的祝福吧！ /Rev Dr Joseph Komar | Director of Centre for Missions & Evangelism      译：余安妮姐妹...
