Christmas, why does it matter? Not that you asked, but Tim Keller and I have been connecting a bit today. Heres a summary, link attached. Good stuff: If Jesus is God himself, become human, we live with an irrepressible, infallible hope. Some day all deformity, decay, sin, disease, imperfection will be wiped away (Romans 8:18-25.) Whatever problem we face—whether disease or injustice or some other suffering—eventually God’s power will triumph over it. Weeping may remain for the night, but joy comes with the morning (Ps 30:5.) Jesus is God— and that means ‘God has landed’! Jesus is man—and that means God cares for us. God has become human; the ideal has penetrated the real and is transforming it into his likeness. The world is destined for joy sooner or later, and so are all those who ‘love and long for his appearing.’ discover.redeemer/docs/Christmas-So-What.pdf
