Colossians 1:19-20  For in Him the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things.

It happens in a moment. One careless move and your favorite coffee mug falls off the table. You love this mug, and now it's broken, the handle snapped clean off. How will you put it back together? There's no lack of various glues and epoxies as you wander the aisles of a hardware store. I like anything with the word miracle on the packaging. Will it work? You'll have to try it to find out.

We are that shattered handle. Our once-perfect tie with God in the Garden of Eden was broken long ago. What will bring us together again? We're the broken handle, and there's nothing we can do to reconnect with God who made us. It will take a miracle of His own action to join us to Himself. That is the miracle of the incarnation of Jesus, who was born in the center of the nativity scene. He has all the fullness of God. In Him, the broken pieces come together. He makes an eternal union of God and man in Himself. That union brings peace to our broken world.
