As the Almighty God, Jesus is high, but when He came to us as food He was lowly. He was a loaf of bread. He was even the crumbs under the table (Matt. 15:21-27). The very Jesus who came to us as life in the form of food was not tall and great; He was small and lowly.

Jesus is the best clue we have as to what God is like and He is consistently gracious and merciful, especially to those who are failures.

In the end it was the saints, not the sinners, who arrested Jesus.

When Jesus came to earth, demons recognized him, the sick flocked to him, and sinners doused his feet and head with perfume.

Lord Jesus, I do love You and most earnestly worship You. Help me today, please, to be even the palest reflection of that completeness that was and is Yours.

Let kindness go from us to others with every gift, and good desires with every Christmas greeting. Deliver us from evil by the blessing which Christ brings, and teach us to be merry with a clear heart.

Amen. —ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON
