1. "Is all that we see or seem, but a dream within a dream?" Poe is wrong. Though we have lulled ourselves asleep, the reality is far brighter and beautiful than we imagine. Christ is risen and so shall we. The dreamer who dreams is He.
  2. Out of His mind indeed, as He took our place between murderers and received the insults and torture of humanity.
  3. Because of Jesus, we don’t have to pretty up anything ugly thing in life.
  4. But another possible translation for the Greek word we translate as ‘overcome’ and one maybe more consistent with the context is ‘comprehend.’
  5. Merry Christmas sinner! Jesus was born for you. He died and rose for you.
