[Ohio-Communities-of-Faith] Christmas Can Be Messy by Max Lucado

[Maggie Stringer]

In the mystery of Christmas, we find its majesty. The mystery of how God
became flesh, why he chose to come, and how much he must love his people.
Christmas is best pondered, not with logic, but imagination.

The first Christmas was messy. Messy with crowded inns, traveling families,
and barnyard animals sniffing at baby Jesus. Messy with questions. How did
Mary become pregnant? What is Joseph supposed to tell his friends? Why is
Herod hell-bent on killing babies? The first Christmas was messy. No
midwife for Mary, no bed for Jesus, no explanation to give the scruffy
shepherds.

Is this one messy for you? Too many relatives? Divorce? Pink slip?
Christmas can be messy. But just as with Bethlehem, good came out of the
mess. May good come out of yours.
