Word of Hope for Today with Bro. Rolly Custodio
THE GREATEST STORY OF ALL TIME?
‘The Word became a human and lived among us…’ John 1:14 NCV
Today’s Insight
‘It’s the most wonderful time of the year’ so the seasonal song goes. But shouldn’t it go, ‘It’s the most wonderfully weird time of the year? Just what is going on? Heaven opens up and an untouched teenage Jewish girl becomes pregnant with God. Modern science screams at us: impossible. And then God chooses to grow fingernails and soft elbows in amniotic fluid.
Common sense tells us: unlikely. And angels watched on as God had His soiled nappy changed. Reverence says: Not on my shift. And middle-eastern astrologers spend months crossing deserts on the promise of a light in the sky. Conservatism says: all sounds a bit new age-y to me. A few sheep and their guardians hear about it, but the rest of Bethlehem has no idea. Logic whispers: far-fetched. And within thirty years He’s stretched upon a cross for the things you and I will do wrong in a few thousand years time. How on earth are we expected to buy a tale like this?
And yet look around at any other world religion. Is there any other that tells a story about a loving Father God willing to enter into the mess and do whatever it takes to put it right? ‘Whatever’ is not to do with violence but it’s all about love, mercy, grace, justice, truth and peace. Peace on earth. That’s His message. Not so much ‘Merry Christmas’ as ‘peace on earth’.
So what now? Think about your friends, family and neighbourhood – what small but powerful things could you do to bring peace on earth, and show them that this tale is true.
Parallel Verses: Job 29-31, Luke 2:8-20, Ps 117, Ecc 10:15-19
Today’s Prayer
Heavenly Father thank you for your Word today. Lord, I come before you with a humble heart.

In Jesus Name, Amen!
