Quotes from Bishop
Sudarshana Devadhar’s
Christmas
Message
December 23,
2017
In the midst
of this reality, we sing "O holy child of Bethlehem,
descend to us,
we pray, cast out our sin, and enter in,
be born in us
today" (United Methodist Hymnal #230, verse 4).
&
"What
does it look like when Jesus Christ is born within us anew;
when we become
the embodiment of Jesus, and grace and truth
become our
mantra as baptized Christians?”
