Incarnation (190)
  1. If this opening verse offers to us both door and doorkeeper, then the doorkeeper stands with the door held securely shut.
  2. If God is God, He doesn’t need anyone to defend Him. Nor does He need anyone to march for Him.

  10. If April 1 is April Fools’ Day, then March 25 is Divine Fool’s Day. Falling nine months before Christmas, it’s the day when God set in motion what appeared to be a foolish plan.
  11. There are so many paradoxes that we can appreciate as we seek to grasp more of the meaning of the miracle of Christmas.
  12. It had just been a few weeks in my friend’s life since he had been converted to the Christian faith. He was very much still learning the ropes of what it meant to be a Christian.
