Nativity: Born of Flesh {0}
“The Child that was ere worlds begun…
The Child that played with moon and sun
Is playing with a little hay.”
This is from a poem written by G.K. Chesterton that was put in a Christmas Card. It speaks of Christ being at creation. That he was there when the moon was made. The Sun and all the stars were made through him and in an amazing act of humility Jesus was born, taking on flesh, growing in Mary’s womb and being born in that messy way every human is born. He was a baby playing with things that were created through him. What an amazing thought that our savior humbled himself in this manner.
Inside the Christmas Card it read, “May He who flung the moon and the stars in their place and then plunged into our humanity, bewilder us once again, each and all.”
Come celebrate the coming of our Savior tonight at Redeemer, 6pm.
