“Enunciation” – A Poem

In December large parts of the world shift their focus to the Christmas holidays. And while to many it has become all about commerce and very little about Jesus’ birth, we should still seize the opportunity to remind people that, although not technically in December, Jesus did come to this earth to save lost humanity. His miraculous, humble incarnation as a fully human baby while still remaining fully God, growing up and living among us, His public ministry, death, and resurrection—all highlight the boundless and powerful reality of God’s deep love for each person. He truly is our Immanuel—God with us. – Jonathan Walter, ARt editor

The Temple is ready 

Pure 

And dedicated. 

All is in order 

According to the divine Plan of old. 

And so comes the angel 

To announce 

That in the most sacred space 

Of this virgin’s womb 

Will dwell 

For a time 

The Shekinah Glory 

The holy Presence 

Of Yeshua 

The Messiah.
