How God presents the Royal Savior to us—in crude, abject humility--is a striking contrast and major indictment of how the church presents Jesus to the world, especially at Christmas: Disney-like performance, expensive staging, Las Vegas showmanship, snappy images on a screen, dazzling lights, artificial smoke, a Six-Flags-over-Jesus atmosphere, performers who advertise THEIR talents, and hero worship. Wait a minute. What ever happened to God’s method of presenting His Son and our Savior?
