1. Jesus takes that which is overlooked and unappreciated and celebrates this child as the place where God is at work.
  2. The beauty of our gospel reading today is how it reveals Jesus as the One who comes not only for the strong in faith but also for those who are weak and walking away.
  3. Jesus does not remain at a distance from our suffering. He fully enters it and bears its burden.
  4. Our enemy is both external AND internal. Outside of us AND inside of us. It is the old evil foe who prowls around us AND the old Adam who wreaks havoc inside each of us.
