The way God came into the world was not what the people wanted or yearned for or prayed for. The way God showed up to rescue was unexpected. God often shows up unexpectedly.

This is a paradox, God showing up unexpectedly. The all-powerful one shows up as an infant, the very essence of weakness and vulnerability. But it's also the one human reality that calls out of everyone who witnesses it a love that hadn't been there before. That's what this story is about, love.

Then Jesus grew up and became a man who taught the people about how much God loves them. But he didn't just tell people of God's love. He embodied it and showed us what it really looks like to be a human being. He showed us love and how to love.
