Yet as I read the birth stories about Jesus I cannot help but conclude that though the world may be tilted toward the rich and powerful, God is tilted toward the underdog.

One of the things that Christmas reminds us is that Jesus Christ was once a child.

God is here. This truth should fill our lives, and every Christmas should be for us a new and special meeting with God, when we allow his light and grace to enter deep into our soul.

Power, no matter how well-intentioned, tends to cause suffering. Love, being vulnerable, absorbs it. In a point of convergence on a hill called Calvary, God renounced the one for the sake of the other.

We want to make people question what's behind Christmas, to think about who Jesus was.

It is good to be children sometimes, and never better than at Christmas, when its mighty Founder was a child Himself
