I wonder why…
Why did Father do it the way He did?
Why a baby?
Why a carpenter and young girl who weren't even married yet?
Why the last available space in Bethlehem?
Why only 33 years on earth and only 3 years of ministry?
I've been listening to Winter Snow, by Audrey Assad and Chris Tomlin (check out this beautiful video of the song by Erik Rutgrink on youtube) and reading through Margaret Feinberg's Unwrapping Advent… trying to get my head around the miracle of Christmas and …
… I AM AMAZED BY THE WONDER OF IT ALL …
I think the question I am wrestling with the most today is…
… How did such a minor event in the grand scheme of things chronologically (only really 3 years of the calendar) have such an INCREDIBLE impact on the course of history? …
This Jesus, that came to earth in such a quiet humble way, has impacted
the course of time more than any other person ever …
… about that I wonder…
… and yet I trust…
I put my full trust and confidence in this baby and in the carpenter and the young girl…
… I trust the manger and the ministry…
…I don't get it… I don't understand all the whys… Why did Father do it the way He did?… but no matter the whys, I choose to trust the wonder.
This is beautiful, Jon! Thank you for challenging me with this today!
