23 Dec 2007 - Finding Christ in the Strangest Places
Talking about the TRUE Spirit of Christmas....


FINDING CHRIST IN THE STRANGEST PLACES
By Dave Veerman


How strange Luke 2:1–20
a crib
the baby laid
sin and straw surrounded
soon humble shepherds
exclaimed the news
good will of God abounded

A strange Luke 2:41–52
collect
these learned men
for adolescent questions
and worried mother
found her son
and heard his strong suggestions

Then strange Matthew 9:9–13; Luke 19:1-10
he ate
with sinners known
taxing reputation
his love reaching
up and out
forming faithful nation

Now strange John 4:1-26
this well
on unclean soil
with outcast woman thirsting
his living offer
satisfied
she ran, her message bursting

But strange Mark 4:35-41
a vessel
engulfed and tossed
the storm had no relieving
till wakened
his rebuke and peace
had followers believing

So strange John 13:1–17
the basin
water and towel
he took each filthy pair
feet washing
hearts cleansing
the least and greatest there

Soon strange John 19:16-30
that tree
on deadly hill
cursed, condemned, impaled
abandoned, yet
he stayed upon
finished work, sins nailed

And strange Matthew 28:1–7
a grave
for final rest
our Lord entombed that hour
defeated death
burst forth alive
with resurrection power

Most strange Galatians 2:19-20; Colossians 1:27
the home
he lives now
another chosen place
God’s own Son
in my life
what incredible grace!

"I trace the rainbow through the rain and see the promise is not in vain."


Everybody can be great...because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.
-- Martin Luther King, Jr.
