If God Were Not With Us

A Christmas classic about a man shown by an angel what the world would be without him, and a Kieslowski film about three versions of one run for a train, open this Christmas reflection. The preacher puts the same question to the whole history of the world: what would our lives look like if the Word had not become flesh and lived among us (Matthew 1)? The answer runs through human dignity, the place of the child, and care for the weak, things that seem obvious today but once were not at all. Listen, and consider what would be different if God had never been born in your life either.
