It, indeed, was very beautiful and very well done, but I'm not sure that I agree that the message of Jesus birth was silence for the purpose of looking into our wonderful selves and all togetherness. I don't know that he brought all religions together. Some say He brought a sword, a division, Light from Darkness, Right from Wrong and One way and one way only to GOD. This baby grows up to die on the cross not because man can find peace within himself, in silence and self contemplation, but in order that Man can find the peace of God through the sacrifice he offers, the sacrifice of himself for us.

Excellent, after watching for the third time without distractions I would agree with you. It is well done and it aligns with the thinking of so many world view churches today. In an effort to not offend or point out sin the churches seem to ignore Gods' teachings all in an effort to maintain membership.

He is a divider of right from wrong,good from evil,salt and light...and yes we will find peace only through him and his sacrifice for us....What a gift he gives....eternal life..

I've seen this twice now and the New Age-y type wording bothers me. Why couldn't the wording be straight forward and biblical?
