This message is part of our message series, "The Invasion of Peace".
The drama and difficult stuff didn’t end at the stable—or with the financial struggle of living as poor people in a strange town—or paying taxes. Mary and Joseph and Jesus then faced danger—from a crazy, evil king. Then, they had to escape to the foreign country where their ancestors had been slaves. And even then, though they tried to go and live in the center of their faith—where Jesus could live out his destiny—they were sent back to ‘Gossip Central’—to the very place where they had been most misunderstood.
Every Christmas, we experience the same: the wonder and excitement of Christmas—and then—January in Toronto! Back to school. Months before the weather will be nice. And, of course, we have to pay for Christmas.
But Jesus, He brings peace to life’s normalcy. In the midst of all of life’s chaos, all of its ups and downs, pushes and pulls… He is able to INSERT peace into all of it.
