A nasty man is barking orders to his guards. He feels threatened by the whispers... of someone new coming to take his place and he wants to ensure this imposter gets caught. So he tells his men to nab him when he arrives.

He will be easy to identify since he will be a man of great affluence and influence. So his men stationed themselves all around the city, looking for a well-dressed man, but they see no such man.

When God sent His Son into this world, the "important" people didn't recognize him.

The lowly way that Christ entered this world ..... no fancy clothes, no hoopla to speak of. A bed of hay, Angels announced his birth, and only a few shepherds were awake to hear the news.

The Humbling Power of Christmas

Many people today have the "nasty" mans values. Impressed only by fame and fortune.

Do you really think God prefer's great entrances with all the garbage that goes along with it?

The point is that Jesus ~~ took the low road into this world to teach us that the way to greatness starts when we lay down our reputations, humble ourselves, and become servants.

I pray we all find a place to "Fall On Our Knees" and discover once again the humbling power of Christmas.

Have a Blessed Christmas Season....."JJ"
