our hearts...
read one of these with me this Christmas...
Divinity entering the world on the floor of a stable... God had come near! Max Lucado views the Savior who walked among us through a distinctly human lens. He speaks plainly to those of us who prefer to keep Jesus otherworldly, distant, and predictable:
"Don't do it. For heaven's sake, don't. Let Him into the mire and muck of our world. For only if we let him in can he pull us out." ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihj9tDU12t7tdk92-JGFYn6INe5wZ3r-VYt5rjw4VetSLDJVn32Funoo6_LE0kDB-bhELCbpcy7dAFT7-vHZ7gnr4Z1WSG4Pf9gVlwPGsGgQTuoZVDixS_8HOLCQzJUjYUkAxUpXHEkFc/s320/Yancy+The+Jesus+I+...jpg)

If Jesus came to reveal God to us, then what do I learn about God from that first Christmas? The word associations that come to mind as I ponder that question take me by surprise. Humble, approachable, underdog, courageous - these hardly seem appropriate words to apply to deity. Yancey reveals the real Jesus beyond the stereotypes...
