Magic or Supernatural
Christmas is magic.
Communion is supernatural.
Magic disappoints after great building expectation. Supernatural surprises and builds valuable things. In love terms, eros is magic, and agape is supernatural. In information terms, CNN and FOX are magic. Scripture and prophecy are supernatural.
Magic deceives. Supernatural informs. Magic entertains. Supernatural confronts. Magic pretends. Supernatural manifests. Magic is a loop that keeps reiterating new versions of deceptions. Supernatural is a path to new things and new understanding and new revelation and new Life.

Then the high priest took action. He and all his colleagues, those who belonged to the party of the Sadducees, were filled with jealousy. So they arrested the apostles and put them in the city jail. But an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the jail during the night, brought them out, and said, “Go and stand in the temple complex, and tell the people all about this life.” In obedience to this, they entered the temple complex at daybreak and began to teach.
