It is the coming of the saviour into the world, God incarnate, God wrapped up in flesh. There are a lot of similarities between faith and politics. Our political views, we look for something better, a better world, a better society in which to live. That's fair and just. We have our plans, our vision of how we might bring that about. We ask people to believe, to believe that we can deliver on the promise, that we are able to bring to fruition the plans and the promises, the vision that we have. Sometimes no matter how much we believe or work or struggle, we can't bring about what we want. In Jesus Christ we have the promise of God being fulfilled. The promise, of course, was that God would send a deliverer, a saviour, a redeemer, who would deliver his people. For all that's been the 2,000 years since the coming of Jesus into our world, there doesn't seem to be a great improvement in things. Our world has changed, our morality is based on the Judeo-Christian tradition. Things move on and our society is different. There's a story told of two friends. One was a pastor and one was a manufacturer of soap. The long discussions that they had were about the Christian faith and a need to believe. The common criticism of the minister, the pastor, was that Christianity didn't work. As they walked down the street, they spotted a dirty child. The minister turned to the soap manufacturer and said that his soap doesn't work. In his defence, the soap manufacturer said that the soap has to be applied, it has to be used. The Christian faith has to be applied. We can't leave it in a book or in a building. It must be part of our communities and of our lives. That's why Jesus came. I hope that you all have a great Christmas and celebrate and rejoice and eat and drink too much. I'll finish by saying be assured that you have the prayers of the church. We ask God's blessing on your work here in the Scottish Parliament.
