Christmas seekers

The first Christmas day dawned like so many before, mothers cooked, fathers rose to their work, and children rubbed their sleepy eyes expecting just another day of days in the town known as the House of Bread, Bethlehem. But this day was no ordinary day, for this day the God of Heaven and earth, the Ancient of Days, the Great I Am was passing near. Not for a glimpse or a moment but passing near to be born to a teenage mother and an unsuspecting Nazarene carpenter.
The King of Glory would lay aside his deity and take up residence in the most humble of dwellings, the body of a boy, a baby who would coo and cry, grow and learn, fully God bound up as fully man. God came near and we beheld His Glory. The extraordinary invading the ordinary so we could experience the love of God.
His coming was not to Kings and courts, prophets, politicians, or preachers but to the most unlikely. He came to shepherds, wise men, and outcast. God was on mission and His visitation would forever change the lives of all.
