A seedless birth. God incarnate. Difficult to comprehend. His birth arouses a boiling controversy. It remains the same today. Herod kills all children under the age of two. HEINOUS. His attempt failed. Pagan culture yawns. Violence erupts. Mystics seek enlightenment. Intellectuals write books. Arrogance and hatred reign supreme. Most earthbound refuse to believe His claim. Nothing has changed. Humanity attempts to slaughter itself. (God laughs at the knowledge of man)
.
His birth was a sign
Offering clear direction
A celebration
Offering humankind hope
And far more than finitude

'The faith of a child can accept far more than the greatest intellect can ever refute.'

The longer I live on this earth the more I know about His birth.
The longer I live the less I trust man and the more I love His Creator.
Merry Christmas Richard!
Amen
Laying in a manger - His throne room
Wrapped in swaddling clothes - His royal robe
Angelic Choir - shepherds listening
Majestic Protection - a sinless life.
The "Faith" of a child...his birth holy..
