God came out of the MESS of MANKIND!
But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law. Galatians 4:4 NIV
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?
Contrary to the tidy crib on the front lawn, the first Christmas was chaotic: no midwife for Mary, no bed for Jesus, no explanation to give the scruffy shepherds who show up at midnight.The first Christmas was messy.
Is this one messy for you? Too many relatives? Or too much silence? Death? Divorce? Debts Christmas can be messy. But just as with Bethlehem, good came out of the mess. May good come out of yours mess today in the name of Jesus, the Christ! Amen !
Wish you a Blessed Christmas,
Apostle Ashok Martin
