Homes can have a lot of things, but if a home lacks this one thing, then it is not a home at all: Love. And the homecoming that we’re talking about when Jesus comes to us at Christmas involves a very particular kind of love. And this love is not just a one-way street. It is a restoring gift that makes its home in us; and then it is a gift we offer back to God and others to help others have a home.
