Please watch this short video. It was the final Best Advent Ever video for 2k17.
I have struggled with how I view the word mess. I
t's easy to point fingers or shake my head or wonder how and why, toward other people.
This video was a reminder, a good reminder, that it's not just "them" living a messy life, it is me too.
And that's why Jesus came down.
He came down in the form of a babe. Human flesh. Vulnerable and helpless.
He was born in a messy, putrid, gross, and secluded stable. Laid in a manger, where animals fed.
Jesus came down into our mess. My mess!
He came down, born in a mess, to die in a mess, for my mess.
Who am I to judge?
Baby Jesus, come into my heart and help me believe Jesus looks past the mess and sees the heart.
