The surprise of Christmas

A few years ago Annelise Wiid (a South African singer / poet) wrote something along the lines of this...

She flew halfway around the world as a surprise for a friend's birthday. It was a whole conspiracy... his family would take him to a specific reestaurant and she would join them as 'the waitress'. Imagine the surprise when he looked up and saw his friend! He jumped up and she kept assuring him that it was REALLY her.

Now imagine... Jesus coming to earth, taking on a body just like ours. The King of kings really came. It REALLY is Him. All the way from heaven... to be with us. To save us. The ultimate surprise.

May the miracle and surprise of Christmas be new to you and to your loved ones today.
