...#5. Name at least 5 brave, adventuresome, courageous, exciting things that took guts that you did *because your faith put you in the situation*. If you can’t name 5, what has caused you to have such a sheltered, safe, secure (immature? timid? effete?) life in the Gospel? Of course, different folks will answer this question in different ways; don’t assume you’re expected to be “James Bond for Jesus.”

Psalm 72:1-7, 10-14
It’s time to pack up the mess & go back to “regular life,” this time by a different road

Real life isn’t neat & tidy like a nativity scene

...#1. Consider vv10-11 & Isaiah 1:3, 60:3, 6. What do they explain about our nativity scenes/creches? See Matthew 2:1, 16; Luke 2:4-6. Hint: carefully read Matthew & Luke; what’s not listed/named in the stories? Nativities are intended to be symbolic, representing much more scripture than Luke 2:7-17.
