The Christ child shows us what God has up his sleeve.

More than any other holiday, Christmas is predictable: the food, the lights, the music, even the date. But maybe another predictable part of Christmas is that it predictably lets us down. After it’s over, nothing is different; nothing is better. Thankfully, God delivers something completely unpredictable at Christmas. Today we see the unpredictable way in which God reveals himself to us. At Christmas, we unwrap presents in order to reveal what’s inside. God does just the opposite at Christmas. He reveals himself by wrapping his deity in human flesh. No one can see the unbridled glory of God and live. However, Jesus Christ, the Word wrapped in flesh, we have seen God’s glory, full of grace and truth.
