While many Christmas messages focus on the "what" of the manger—the shepherds, the angels, and the scenery—we shift the lens to the "why" behind the incarnation. By contrasting the heavy, anxious tension we often feel around difficult people with the profound relief of Christ’s presence, we explore what it means for the "Word to become flesh." It’s a reminder that Jesus didn't arrive to demand an upgrade in status or to win an argument; He stepped into human frailty, setting aside every divine preference to prioritize a relationship with us. Ultimately, the miracle of the season isn't just that God showed up, but that He showed up entirely for our benefit, offering a brand of grace that allows us to finally exhale.
