He is God’s holy, human paradox
And this lamb was revealed to the shepherds.
Men who didn’t have a reputation to protect or an ax to grind or a ladder to climb.
Men who didn’t know enough to tell God that angels don’t sing to sheep and that messiahs aren’t found wrapped in rags and sleeping in a feed trough.
So …
while the theologians were sleeping
and the elite were dreaming
and the successful were snoring,
the meek were kneeling.
They were kneeling before the One only the meek will see.
They were kneeling in front of Jesus.
That’s the challenge of His simple birth.
God doesn’t impress you with pomp, He simply presents you with truth.
Those who are meek, those who are weak, those who, like the shepherds, are willing submit to that simplicity, see their lives forever changed.
Those who are waiting for the show, like Herod, like the High Priest, and like the Pharisees, they doubt and disbelieve.
