I was literally dumfounded when watching our friends David & Carrie Grants BBC TV show about the meaning of Advent that interviewed a guy named Steve Legg who has made an animated version of the Nativity. When asked by the Grants what had prompted him to make the DVD he replied that he had been shocked to the core when some six years earlier he had heard the story of a school child whose response to hearing the story of the baby Jesus was
Why would a baby
s mummy and daddy name their baby after a swear word?
If ever I had doubted that we were living in the Post Modern-Post-Christian era that one statement put me straight. A couple of evenings ago I had been watching the late night news and had listened to the newspaper reporter who reviewing the Daily Mail
s headline Away with the Manger told us that WH Smiths reported that of the 1,000 or more Christmas cards only 67 depict the Nativity scene. How sad that we have lost sight of the fact that it is CHRIST
en-MASse that we are celebrating at this time of year. It was therefore with all the more delight that I received this delightful note from Dee Dee Winter, Norman Grubb
s biographer. Its called The Glory of the Unlikely, for all of us who know that wise men still worship Him because they have seen that the miracle of Christmas is JesUS it will warm your heart.

"Saving is all his idea, and all his work. All we do is trust him enough to let him do it. It's God's gift from start to finish! We don't play the major role. If we did, we'd probably go around bragging that we'd done the whole thing! No, we neither make nor save ourselves. God does both the making and saving.."

"O foolish Galatians, who bewitched you not to obey the truth, to whom before your eyes Jesus Christ was written among you crucified? This only I would learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law, or by hearing of faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, do you now perfect yourself in the flesh?"
