Christmas means we know where to find God.

We’re right to expect big things out of Christmas. Unfortunately, we often look for those things in all the wrong places. Just like he did at the first Christmas, God often gives us these blessings “undercover.” He puts his best gifts in the last place we’d expect to find them - like in a manger. Today we see where God invites us to find him and meet with him. People look for God in all kinds of places. More and more people look for the divine inside themselves. However, even though mankind has no right or business being in the presence of the holy God who created us, God himself took on our flesh and made himself one of us. In Jesus, the Word made flesh, mankind encounters and finds its God.
