Christmas Celebrates Our One Self

Today we offer thanks that Christ has come to search the world for what belongs to Him. ²His vision sees no strangers, but beholds His Own and joyously unites with them. ³They see Him as a stranger, for they do not recognize themselves. ⁴Yet as they give Him welcome, they remember. ⁵And He leads them gently home again, where they belong.

Not one does Christ forget. ²Not one He fails to give you to remember, that your home may be complete and perfect as it was established. ³He has not forgotten you. ⁴But you will not remember Him until you look on all as He does. ⁵Who denies his brother is denying Him, and thus refusing to accept the gift of sight by which his Self is clearly recognized, his home remembered and salvation come. (A Course in Miracles, W-160.9–10. See also ACIM Lesson 160 Insights.)

Christ is our true Self, the one Self that unites us with every brother and with God. As we accept our true Self, we recognize the Love in everyone. Our vision is clear, not clouded by illusions of separation. The Christ in us sees Himself in everyone and joins with them. The recognition of Christ in us is the acceptance of God’s gift of all of Himself.

This time of celebrating Christmas is the celebration of our one Self. This recognition is the only gift worthy of God’s Son, for it is the gift that was given Him in his creation.

Today we practice seeing with the eyes of Love. With that vision, we welcome the Self at one with our Creator.
