"Hey look it's BABY GOD!"
Marcus yells every time he sees a nativity scene. It is a striking phrase, one he pieced together himself.
"Baby Jesus" is something we hear all the time, but "baby God," actually more accurate, is really quite startling. It is bizarre, really, to put the words "baby" and "God" together. One brings up ideas of weakness and vulnerability and neediness, the other strength and power and authority.
Yet God, our God, has put these two things together. He is the God whose apparent weakness is strength, whose vulnerability and death is power and blessing.
A great mystery is here.
Merry Christmas.
