He came to get messy.

Do you ever feel that God is nowhere near and cant understand your pain? Over 2000 years ago, Jesus, Gods Son, came into the world, not as royalty but as a baby born in a stable full of muck and animals. This video reminds us with powerful imagery of the sacrifice that Jesus made by humbling himself to become one of us. It was a dirty job and he didn't have to do it but the world is changed because he did.

So let's not get caught up in gifts we need to give, and all the things that need to be accomplished. Look at all the wrapping paper covering the floor and remember why we celebrate.

Let me know how you remind yourself of Jesus' birth this time of year. Leave comments so that all can be encouraged to remember Him.
