For Unto Us a Child is Born..

From Handel’s Messiah, I know some people go and listen to the Messiah at Christmas, for us it’s an Easter thing, the whole scope of the thing, fits Easter, when I’m thinking about the miracle of resurrection. This though is for Christmas and sums up all of it. The smallness of a baby, just an ordinary thing and the largeness of what He will become, what He will do. At the same time the hugeness of just a tiny baby, of every tiny baby and the overwhelming joy they bring (it says nothing of the sleepless nights and endless nappy changes but you can’t have everything!)
