The Wise Men searched for and found the Child...
Hope has hands, freedom has feet
Truth will stand, the Word will speak
The holy and lowly will finally embrace
For Love has a heartbeat and Grace has a face...

All this comes from the God who settled the relationship between us and Him, and then called us to settle our relationships with each other.
God put the world square with Himself through the Messiah, giving the world a fresh start by offering forgiveness of sins.
God has given us the task of telling everyone what He is doing.
We're Christ's representatives. God uses us to persuade men and women to drop their differences and enter into work of making things right between them.
We are speaking for Christ Himself now: Become friends with God; He's already a friend with you.
How? You ask. In Christ, God put the wrong on Him who never did anything wrong, so we could be put right with God.
-- 2 Corinthians 5:18-21
