Today is Christmas Day and so far it has been wonderful. Yet it all began last night.
Last night I watched a storm across the valley, yes the clouds were rolling in, but at a very slow pace. They were dark and ominous and took three hours to actually cover my home and although there was lightning it was not fierce and the rain, when it came was gentle.
On the night Christ was born a gentle saviour came to a love lost world that expected their Messiah to be a deliverer of a different sort. They thought He would be a mighty deliverer, a warrior, yet they received a humble deliverer who came to save them from their sins. The trouble was they did not know their sin.
We can be so wrong in our estimations and miss a glorious truth. A loving God sent His only Son to lead us back to Him.
Today, all across the globe people will misunderstand one another because their expectations were ill founded.
Don't let another day go by trying to insist God exists on your own terms. Why not ask Him His? Amen!
