THE EVOLUTION OF CHRISTIANITY
God tapped humanity on its collective shoulder. "pardon me," he said and eternity interrupted time, divinity interrupted carnality, and heaven interrupted the earth in the form of a baby. Christianity was born in one big heavenly interruption.
              Just ask the Bethlehem Shepherds. We know so little about these men. their names? their age ? how many were on duty that night? we don't know. But this much, we can safely assume: They had no expectations of excitement. These are sheep they are watching. These men expected no excitement, nor did they want any. Any excitement was bad excitement- wolves, mountain lions, poachers. Shepherds treasured the predictable. They coveted the calm. Their singular aim was to be able to tell their wives, "nothing happened last night."
                   Just because they wanted a calm night, however, didn't mean they would get it. And forgive the reminder: just because you want a calm life, don't bank on having it. The minute you sink down in the easy chair of life, heaven pushes the remote and changes the channel:

                                     The financial aid office says "no"

                                      The doctor says "pregnant"

                                       The boss says "transfer"

                                        The text grade reads "F"

                                        The auto insurance says "expired"
"I am the one who creates the light and darkness. I am the one who sends good times and bad times.I, the Lord, am the one who does these things." And our typical response is like that of the shepherds. Fear. " Then an angel of the lord stood before them. The glory of the lord was shining upon them and they became very frightened".
                Change always brings fear before it brings faith. We always assume the worst before we look for the best. God interrupts our life with something we have never seen, and rather than praise we panic! We interpret the presence of a problem as the absence of God and scoot!

                              Christianity, in its purest form, is nothing more than seeing JESUS

                               Christian service, in its purest form, is nothing  more than imitating him who we see.

                                To see his majesty and to imitate him, that is the sum of Christianity.
