Read Luke 2:1-7
Mary received the call to obedience and only later was Joseph invited to join her, at the cost of social expectations and norms. As the birth of Jesus drew near, law required them to make the trip to Bethlehem, and they found themselves in a stable, and Mary in labor. Imagine the smells that greeted them and Jesus in his first gasps of breath.
- When have you been called to live into the story of Jesus in unfavorable circumstances?
- How did you step in in spite of the “smells?”
- Is there a situation now that you are invited to step into, despite the accompanying challenges?
