In Chaos tonight we examined and even acted out some aspects of the Christmas story. God causing a scene in the lives of Mary, Joe, the Shepherds, and even King Herod (yea we don’t celebrate that part of the Christmas story).
We talked about how the various people in the Christmas Story reacted when God wanted to Cause A Scene using people the world looked down on. The Christmas Story gives us hope because God used all these people the world ignored to change the game!
1 Corinthians says it this way…
26 Think about the circumstances of your call, brothers and sisters. Not many were wise by human standards, not many were powerful, not many were born to a privileged position. 27 But God chose what the world thinks foolish to shame the wise, and God chose what the world thinks weak to shame the strong. 28 God chose what is low and despised in the world, what is regarded as nothing, to set aside what is regarded as something, 29 so that no one can boast in his presence. 30 He is the reason you have a relationship with Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption, 31 so that, as it is written, “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord”
