Celebrate Christmas by Forgiving

In the holy instant the condition of love is met, for minds are joined without the body’s interference, and where there is communication there is peace. The Prince of Peace was born to re-establish the condition of love by teaching that communication remains unbroken even if the body is destroyed, provided that you see not the body as the necessary means of communication. And if you understand this lesson, you will realize that to sacrifice the body is to sacrifice nothing, and communication, which must be of the mind, cannot be sacrificed. Where, then, is sacrifice? The lesson I was born to teach, and still would teach to all my brothers, is that sacrifice is nowhere and love is everywhere. For communication embraces everything, and in the peace it re-establishes, love comes of itself.

Let no despair darken the joy of Christmas, for the time of Christ is meaningless apart from joy. Let us join in celebrating peace by demanding no sacrifice of anyone, for so you offer me the love I offer you. What can be more joyous than to perceive we are deprived of nothing? Such is the message of the time of Christ, which I give you that you may give it and return it to the Father, Who gave it to me. For in the time of Christ communication is restored, and He joins us in the celebration of His Son’s creation. (A Course in Miracles, T-15.XI.7-8. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

To perceive a brother as limited to a body is to imprison him. But when we have forgiven everyone we see, think of or imagine, we are born again in Christ. (Lesson 192) We have returned to the full remembrance that we are God’s Son, the unlimited extension of the oneness of His Love.

Jesus’ life demonstrated that the body is nothing, but the oneness of Love that is God’s Son is all that is real. This Love remains untouched by dreams of separation. We celebrate Christmas each time we forgive a perception of separation (lovelessness) and let Love replace fear, joy replace sadness and peace replace conflict.
