A Metaphysical Christmas Story

On the Unity blog, “Interpret This,” Rev. Ed Townley offers metaphysical interpretations of the Bible. The excerpt below is from an interpretation of Matthew 1:18-25—the Christmas story.

“…Metaphysically what we celebrate each Christmas is the birth of Christ awareness. What Jesus brought to us was a spark of new light, new possibility—light that shines through the darkness of human confusion and illuminates the spiritual truth of who we are. And it doesn't just happen once. Every Christmas is a new birth—a new opportunity for each of us to give birth to more of the light—and to commit ourselves to nurturing that light, trusting it, believing in its Presence within us, sending it forth with every choice we make to bring more of itself into expression—to create more, and more again, of the new consciousness with which each of us is miraculously pregnant—the consciousness Jesus describes as ‘the kingdom of heaven.’”
