How Do You See Christmas?
So much about life and truth and Christmas is determined by your perspective.
In the world’s eyes…
- a peasant girl, probably raped by Roman soldiers
- a poor carpenter, dumb enough to believe her story about an angel
- a slave registering his family with the state for purposes of taxation
- an insignificant village with little to offer the empire
- a family that couldn’t even afford a room
- a baby that didn’t have a proper delivery
- a baby that would grow up poor and enslaved
- a group of shepherds, not even worth asking their name
- a meaningless event in a meaningless town
In God’s eyes…
- a young girl endowed with grace and conceived by the Spirit
- a righteous man willing to obey God at great risk to his own reputation
- a census that would fulfill prophecy
- a baby, God taking on human likeness (God with meat)
- a baby that becoming a man would change the world and the eternal destiny of millions
