God With Us 12/13/12

Introduction: Eugene Peterson

 

Every year Christmas comes around again and forces us to deal with God in the context of demanding and inconvenient children; gatherings of family members, many of whom we spend the rest of the year avoiding; all the crasser forms of greed and commercialized materiality; garish lights and decorations. Or maybe the other way around: Christmas forces us to deal with the mess of our humanity in the context of God who has already entered that mess in the glorious birth of Jesus.

Eugene Peterson, God with Us. 9.
