An Inspirational Christmas Sermon

Author: The Living Hour December 25, 2025 Duration: 14:24

Listen to episode 1081 of the Inspirational Living podcast: An Inspirational Christmas Sermon. Edited and adapted from All These Things Added by James Allen, published in 1903.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: THE mountain bends not to the fiercest storm, but it shields the fledgling and the lamb; and though all people tread upon it, yet it protects them, and bears them up upon its sturdy bosom. So it is also with the meek among us, who compassionately bend to shield the lowliest creature, and, though they may be despised, lift all others up and lovingly protect them. 

As glorious as the mountain in its silence are the divine man and woman in their silent Meekness; like the mountainous form, their loving embrace is expansive and sublime. Truly their body, like the mountain’s base, is fixed in the valleys and the mists; but the summit of their being is eternally bathed in cloudless glory, and lives with the majestic Silence.

Washington.
