The smaller something is, the closer you have to get in order to see it. That\u2019s why the best way to view the gifts God gives at Christmas is \u201cup close and personal.\u201d God acts in ways that seem small so we can get a good look at the big things he\u2019s doing. Today we see how the arrival of the world\u2019s Savior highlights the work required for our salvation. If that work entailed nothing more than a \u201cto do\u201d list (and a \u201cto don\u2019t\u201d list), then a baby would have been the least qualified to do it. Jesus\u2019 arrival as an infant and his existence at every stage of human development proves that our salvation is found in more than a series of tasks. It is found in a person who substitutes his entire life for ours.
