Titus 2:11-14 (NRSV)
The grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all, training us to renounce impiety and worldly passions, and in the present age to live lives that are self-controlled, upright, and godly, while we wait for the blessed hope and the manifestation of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ. He it is who gave himself for us that he might redeem us from all iniquity and purify for himself a people of his own who are zealous for good deeds.

This is a "short, sweet and the point" reading. It is a reminder that the presence of Jesus in our midst is always grace among us. Tonight, in the celebration of the holy birth, we are called to focus on that grace among us because God is among us, and ever shall be.
