2000 years ago in a dark,
damp stable
a
baby
was
born.
A baby who contained all the power in the universe
and beyond.
This baby created it all.
And yet could not lift his head to see His own creation.
He became immobile.
Helpless.
Fragile.
Dependant on us,
the ones who turned our backs on Him.
He grew.
In stature, and in wisdom.
And he loved.
He loved the shunned.
The rejected.
The lonely and hurting.
He avoided the trappings of religion
and instead embraced a new kind of LIVING.
A living full of grace.
Humility.
Service.
Justice.
He took a ragamuffin band of blue collar workers
and used them to change the world.
Has he changed yours?
Christmas is about revolution.
Love.
A new way of facing the world.
A tiny baby.
The Savior of the world.
Merry Christmas, friends.
I love you.
