Christmas
As God the Father, I assume the limitations of the flesh; and using one who is a man after my heart and will do all my will, I become conscious of being a rich man, a poor man, a beggar, and a thief, until David reveals me as his father. "I came to do the will of my Father yet I am the Father, for God the Father and the Son of God is one I AM." There is only God in the world. As the father God created a perfect play. As the son God plays all the parts. As the son God is restricted in his activities. But when the drama is finished God leaves the world of Caesar greatly expanded - and returns to himself, the Father. As the son God suffers. Ask a man who is suffering and he will answer, I am! That's the Father, who has become incarnate by assuming human form. When the play is over for him, God will leave the world as the son, to return to the kingdom of heaven as the Father. In our mystery this event is called Christmas.
