We just finished the Christmas season, and I am thinking anew about the Advent season.
When God invaded a world of His own making - in the form of a helpless baby.
The world had rebelled more than once - continually actually. Many had tried to supplant God with anything else, even ultimately with themselves.
And yet Advent is a coming by God. Incarnation in the least imposing way imaginable - as a baby born to poor parents under a repressive Roman empire. Refugees chased out of their own land by a deranged local leader seeking to secure his power base.
