I enjoy the lights & a lot of the festivities of Christmas. But unless we appreciate the lowly circumstances surrounding Jesus’s birth we will miss something.
Even with all its miraculous & angelic components, the birth of the savior was still a peasant experience. A majestic, & joyful event for sure, yet the poor, the lonely, & the marginalized were included. Don’t let the tension between the humility & majesty escape you. Not only does it bring greater understanding of the mission of Jesus, but a greater understanding of our hope & mission as his followers.
