<p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Kierkegaard has a fable of a king who fell in love with a maid. When asked, "How shall I declare my love?" his counselors answered, "Your majesty has only to appear in all the glory of your royal glory before the maid's humble dwelling and she will instantly fall at your feet and be yours."<br><br>But it was precisely that which troubled the king. He wanted her glorification, not his. In return for his love he wanted hers, freely given. Finally, the king realized love's truth, that freedom for the beloved demanded equality with the beloved. So late one night, after all the counselors of the palace had retired, he slipped out a side door and appeared before the maid's cottage dressed as a servant.<br><br>Clearly, the fable is a Christmas story. We are called to obey not God's power, but God's love. God wants not submission to his power, but in return for his love, our own.<br><br>God moved in. He pitches his fleshly tent in silence on straw, in a stable, under a star. The cry from that infant's throat pierced the silence of centuries. God's voice could actually be heard coming from human vocal cords.<br><br>That's the joy of it. God has come to be with us!</span></p>

<p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; FONT-SIZE: 12pt"> </span></p>
<p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">When Christians say, "The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth," they do not mean that God is everything, but they do mean that God is in everything. "In everything," wrote Paul to the Romans, "God works for good with those who love him ... " (Romans 8:28). The theologian Robert McAfee Brown likes to use in his writing the musical metaphor of themes and variations.<span> </span>There are many musical compositions, Beethoven's Fifth Symphony for example, which begin with a clear, identifiable musical pattern, or theme. What follows in the music is a series of variations on this theme, the theme being repeated in ever more complex combinations. Sometimes the texture of these combinations is so complex that the theme is hidden, seemingly obscured by the competing and interlocking notes. But those who have heard the theme clearly stated at the beginning of the work can still make it out, can feel the music being organized by the theme. In Jesus Christ "the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth ...." That's the theme of all of life heard clearly by the ears of faith, and those who have heard that distinct theme can hear it being sounded wherever the music of life is being played, no matter how jangled are the false notes surrounding it.</span></p>

<p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">While I believe that the gospel is always a proclamation about God's actions, effective witnessing involves a lot of listening. For a proclamation to be "good news" for someone, it has to address their needs, their questions, their concerns. I've often quoted this statement from a course on witnessing: "You don't throw a drowning person a sandwich, no matter how good the sandwich might be."</span></p>

<p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">If John's Gospel were the only one we had, this is all that we would know about Jesus' birth: before his name was Jesus, his name was the Word, and he was with God from the very beginning of creation, bringing things into being, making things happen, shining light into the darkness. </span></p>
<p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; FONT-SIZE: 12pt"> </span></p>
<p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">He was God's self, God's soul, God's life force in the world. He was the breath inside all living things. He was the electric spark that charged peoples' hearts. He was the fire inside the sun. He was the space between the stars. He was the axis around which the galaxies spin. </span></p>
<p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; FONT-SIZE: 12pt"> </span></p>
<p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">John goes on to say that not everyone got that message. Many were blinded by this light and preferred the darkness they knew to the light which they did not know. The Word sidled up to them and hummed life into their ears, but they cleared their throats and walked away. So God decided to speak in a new way. God decided to speak body language. "And the Word became flesh and lived among us -- full of grace and truth." </span></p>

<p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">This is John's Christmas story in a nutshell. Like Luke, John is telling us about an encounter with the Holy One. God's Word was translated into a human being. God's self, soul, and life force were concentrated into one mortal life on earth, and as a result, nothing would ever be the same again. Not because everyone listened, because everyone does not, but because the eternal Word of God took human form. </span></p>

<p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">The Letter to the Hebrews in the New Testament reminds us of that incident, and counsels Christians to make hospitality a Christian virtue. "For you may be entertaining angels unaware." But more than that, you may be doing it to Christ, who said, "If you have done it to the least of these, you have done it to me." </span></p>

<p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Tom Long teaches at the seminary at Princeton. But for a while he lived in Atlanta, and attended a Presbyterian Church in downtown Atlanta. Like most downtown churches, it has to cope with the problem of the homeless. So they opened up their gymnasium in the winter as a shelter. It was the practice of that church, as it is in this church when we open our buildings as a shelter in the winter months, to have people from the church serve as hosts and hostesses. </span></p>
<p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; FONT-SIZE: 12pt"> </span></p>
<p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Long volunteered to be a host one night. The night came and since no one else volunteered, he invited a friend to come and join him. His friend was not a member of that church. In fact, he wasn't a member of any church. But periodically, in their conversations about religious matters, this friend would say, "Tom, I'm not a theologian, but it seems to me...," and then he would express his opinion. </span></p>
<p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; FONT-SIZE: 12pt"> </span></p>
<p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">On this night as they were hosting the shelter, they met the men as they arrived, saw that they had something to eat, hung out with them for a while. Then as the men began to prepare to retire, Tom's friend said, "Tom, you get some sleep. I will stay with them the first watch, then I'll wake you up, and you can come and stay with them for the rest of the night." </span></p>
<p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; FONT-SIZE: 12pt"> </span></p>
<p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">So the friend stayed up and mingled with the guests, listened to them, asked questions about who they were, what had happened to them in their lives that they were now homeless. At 2:00 a.m. he went in and woke up Tom. He said, "Wake up! Wake up! I want you to come and see this. Granted I am no theologian, but I think that Jesus is down there."</span></p>

As the sharp edge of winter cut across the landscape, the cottage grew cold as did its occupant. He went out back and pulled a few boards off the house to kindle the fire. The fire was warm, but the house seemed as cold as before. More boards came off for a larger fire to warm the now even colder house, which in return required an even larger fire, demanding more boards. In a few days the man cursed the weather, cursed the house, cursed the stove, and moved away...</span></p>
