The MESSage of Christmas
Christmas has a way of getting messy, doesn’t it? Wrapping paper everywhere, crowded kitchens, the lot. And the very first Christmas wasn’t any tidier. Mary and Joseph found themselves in a makeshift space, surrounded by animals, welcoming Jesus into the middle of it all. The heart of the story isn’t the mess itself, though. It’s the one who stepped into it. When ‘Mess’ becomes ‘Messiah’, everything changes.
Watch this Spoken Word video from the Bible Society reflecting on that simple but life-giving truth. We hope it speaks into whatever this season looks like for you.
If you would like to talk about Jesus, the meaning of Christmas or the Christmas faith, please contact us.
