Christmas Eve has arrived. It’s
the most unlikely of days, the most improbable of events. There was a series of
happenstances, occurring in such an order that they are incredible in and of
themselves. Who would have thought that a baby born so many years ago would
change the world so profoundly?
A baby, a little tiny person comes into the world dependent on others
for care and love. Each contains promise and potential, unique gifts and
strengths. Each is important. Not for power, politics, money or prestige; not
for achievements, accomplishments or awards. The King, the Alpha and Omega, the
one who would save the world came as a baby. He came helpless and small, not
richly but simply.
It is estimated over 350,000 babies are born each day across the world.
Each of these precious little lives has worth. They do not have to be
accomplished, powerful, or attaining lofty goals. The King, who was there at the
start of the world, came as an unlikely herald of joy, peace, and love;
announcing it quietly in a little town with the birth of a baby. Who would have
thought?
