the glory of Christmas: the birth of Jesus Christ

the glory of Christmas: the birth of Jesus Christ by ric Gustafson


The night that Jesus came was ordinary. The sky, the stars, the clouds were ordinary. It was a beautiful night but ordinary. The sheep were ordinary, the shepherds that night were ordinary.
Then the ordinary black night became bright from a star in the sky. Sheep became curious and shepherds rubbed their eyes and looked up. This night was not ordinary any longer.
God did the unthinkable. He removed his robe of light and wrapped himself in human skin. He entered a dark wet womb. He was nestled in the placenta of a peasant girl. He came out on a cold night and then slept on cow's hay.
You say who is this Jesus?.
The question is who do you say he is?.
