Born into lowly circumstances, he came without fanfare, without flair, without majesty of royalty. Yet his coming fulfilled Old Testament prophecies that pronounced God would send a savior for the world — for every individual in every subsequent time period in every society. The birth story of Jesus has transcended time. Sorry too disappoint he didn’t stay in a comfy blanket in a back room, looking up at Mum Mary. He fled in danger and gets betrayed, crucified and put away in a grave At age he entered adulthood 30 or 33 we understand.
But he arose, Jesus is risen, his conduct, encounters, purpose mission need to be examined. What actually does it mean to you . This season of goodwill.?
'December and winter,are words not about month or a season, also used secondary purpose to describe negative events .
Poverty hardship difficult periods. Can bring sharp focus when used in such a description. Country singer Merl Haggard sang about losing his factory position ,not having enough money, unable to provide gifts .Letting others down in a song he stated:-
"It's not about Christmas that's a mistake all about struggles".
Theme constantly witnessed in my work practice .Like yourself been circumstances in own lived experience. Sometimes we have to address these issues even in period when we need to be escaping from issues. Perhaps wanting it to be right, hoping for new plans,needing better. Simply more evident in this season.
