At the birth of Christ the multitude of heavenly hosts raised the jubilee of God’s good will.
On the birthday of the church that church itself sings the wonderful works of God in myriad tones."

@ericortlund.bsky.social's commentary on Ecclesiastes is absolute vanity.
(I hope he gets the joke).
The last three chapters especially, and the last chapter above all. Brilliant.

"Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has demanded to have you".
Luke 22:31.
Fascinatingly, the "you" is plural in the Greek. Satan wasn't just demanding Simon, he wanted all the disciples.
But what he wants, he doesn't get.

Pity the nations, O our God,
constrain the earth to come;
send Thy victorious Word abroad,
and bring the strangers home.
We long to see Thy churches full,
that all the chosen race
may, with one voice and heart and soul,
sing Thy redeeming grace.
