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\u2019s over, nothing is different; nothing is better. Thankfully, God delivers something completely unpredictable at Christmas. In the least likely of ways and in the least likely of places, he delivers the gift of his Son. Along with him, he delivers to all mankind the peace, joy, and hope they need. Because God delivers his greatest gift in the most unpredictable way, that gift is ours for the taking. There will always be room for us at the side of the manger. The gifts from the Christ child are all labeled: To you! When we see the unpredictable thing God does at Christmas, we\u2019ll say with the shepherds, \u201cLet\u2019s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened!\u201d
