It may SEEM as though Jesus came at the wrong time in the wrong place and brought into the world by the wrong people. King Herod was a threat. Bethlehem was under oppression. And Mary and Joseph were refugees. Safety sounds good but He needed turbulence. Comfortable sounds good but He needed closed doors at the inn and a bed in a manger. Wealth sounds good but He needed to arrive in humble circumstances. Easy sounds good but He needed a cross. This is what it means to celebrate Christmas. Trusting that whatever SEEMS to be wrong in our stories is being made right by the One who already lived through it.
