The Nativity of the Lord
We talk a lot about reaching God.
About climbing higher. Doing better. Understanding more.
But the truth is this:
we couldnāt reach Him ā even if we tried.
We canāt even get to Mars.
We can barely leave our own planet.
And thatās still inside His creation.
God is not just far away ā
He is beyond our universe, beyond time, beyond anything our minds can measure.
So if salvation depended on us climbing up to Him,
we were already lost.
And God knew that.
Thatās why Christmas didnāt start in Bethlehem.
It started centuries earlier ā with preparation.
God sent prophets.
Not vague mystics, but voices of clarity.
They told us what to look for:
A virgin would conceive.
He would be born in Bethlehem.
He would be Emmanuel ā God with us.
He would save not by force, but by love.
Then⦠silence.
For generations, the world waited.
Because God was no longer sending messengers.
He was coming Himself.
Not in thunder.
Not to kings.
Not with spectacle.
But quietly.
As a child.
In humility.
The infinite became finite.
The eternal entered time.
The Creator entered His creation.
Not because He lacked power ā
but because He is love.
Christmas isnāt sentimental.
Itās staggering.
It means God doesnāt watch suffering from a distance ā
He entered it.
It means we donāt shout our prayers into the void ā
we speak to a God who has stood where we stand.
We didnāt find God by climbing high enough.
God came looking for us.
Today we donāt celebrate an idea ā
we celebrate a moment.
The moment Heaven touched earth.
You couldnāt reach God.
So God came to you.
