We don't like to think of it this way, but Christmas was messy.
Christmas is a picture of our walk with God and tend to sterilize it, dress it up like a perfect figurine and display our best on the mantle for our friends.
It's not about a Holiday that takes place in the wintertime.
It's about our salvation where Christ our Savior is born to us as individuals. Messy individuals at that.
Listen as Pastor Rebecca St. Louis compares the Christmas birth of her first son, Ian, to the historical birth of our messiah, Jesus in a manger at Bethlehem and the necessary birth of the Son of God into our hearts.
