Shadows and the Substance

The spiritual change that Christmas brought, is that, the substance belongs to Christ.  The Birth of Christ marks the replacement of shadows of heavenly things with the substance from heaven. A shadow is a partial revealing of what the light is shining on.  Shadows can become idols.

Do you feel like you must DO something to be accepted by Him?

The spiritual solution to the spiritual problem is the same for everyone everywhere.
