Christmas is the cosmic overthrow of the kingdoms of this world and the inauguration of the forever-Kingdom of God. Jesus came to set into motion a movement that would overthrow all the kingdoms of this world and give birth to the forever-Kingdom of...

Christmas is the story of God's continuing relentless pursuit of me to love me.
