Aaron (Bill): Let us be comfortable, friends. This is Aaron, but I am not the whole show this evening. I am here to greet you all, and wish you the season’s blessing, which is love in action.

===Lesson===
 
Too often the birth of our Lord Jesus, as he is known in your culture, is a sentimental memory, and an ineffectual worship of an event so overladen with myth, ceremony and materialism as to be almost a desecration of Christ Michael’s bestowal. So my wish for you of "love in action" is the opposite of wishing you a sentimental and mushy experience of cultural comfort and religious sanction.

Well, that’s my little Advent sermonette as you prepare for Christmas. I am open to interaction.

===Dialogue===
 
LaReen: Aaron, I need to go on the record. I don’t think of you as picking on me. You remind me of my task-master teachers, that at the time I didn’t appreciate but in later years came to appreciate and love, because they made me think and they gave me homework. That’s what you remind me of; and I love you dearly, and I miss you dearly. You don’t pick on me.

However, remember this. Jesus incarnated as a Urantia mortal, two-brained, and He achieved the perfect balance of His personality in just a few years, While you are not Creator Sons, now that He has gone before you, and not just you but before His whole universe, all mortals now have been given an up-lift, a supercharge on this mortal journey toward God and toward Paradise. Are there other individuals in this group who would like to ask a question or comment at this point. (Pause.) Very well, then I conclude that we are finished, and I will hand the microphone over to your teacher, Daniel. One moment.

To you Christ Michael, we give our full allegiance, our love, our service. Be with us, as You always are, and make us more conscious of Your presence. In Your name, we, Your apostles and your children, ask these things. Amen.
