The Mess that Christmas Makes

Dec 23, 2018  •  Nick Weber

Popular notions of Christmas present it as something calm and peaceful, but the Biblical record portrays something much different. The arrival of Jesus makes a mess of our lives. The things we've been living for are threatened. The self-righteous facades we've built for ourselves are being exposed for what they are. Christmas certainly has our everlasting peace as its end goal, but it makes quite a mess of things along the way.
