Why does the birth of Jesus make Register columnist Gina Finocchiaro Warner flash back to a Bruce Springsteen concert in high school? I’ve had this feeling before—occasions when my heart has actively awaited some exciting event, only to find it trivialized by words when I later try to relay it. November 18, 1984 comes to mind. I was a freshman in high school in Omaha. After months of waiting, the moment had come: the first time that I would finally be in the same room with Bruce Springsteen. Gina relays events of the evening in detail, and then recalls, it ended. That’s how it goes with things of this world. They have limits. And that is why the birth of the Eternal King is unlike every other affair worthy of our anticipation and elation. It is in another stratosphere altogether. Because the worldly things that provide us with happiness are not lasting. Only He is. He is the concert that never ends.
