The Power of the Nativity

What does our nativity set teach us?

1. The Star ::: God provides a travel guide for seekers ::: be a star for someone this year!

* be bright
* be compelling

2. The Stable ::: God sent Jesus to live in the real world ::: Jesus was born into a real family...worked a real construction job...lived in a real neighborhood...had real friends...he suffered just like the rest of us...died a cruel death for crimes he didn't commit!

* He Understands - He's been there
* The Stable represents the deliberately unsheltered life of Jesus

3. The manger ::: the ordinary becomes extraordinary ::: a feed trough for cattle becomes a cradle for the King of Kings

* What can God transform us into if we allow him to enter our lives?
