407 The Scandal of the Manger: God’s Choice and Ours

Tuesday, December 24th: In this episode of The Daily Grind, we dive deep into the Christmas story, reflecting on the scandal of the incarnation. Host John Spencer explores the cultural and historical nuances of Jesus' birth, painting a vivid picture of the messy, unsanitary scene in Bethlehem and the feeding trough where the newborn Savior lay. But the true scandal isn’t just about where Jesus was born—it’s that God chose to enter our broken, imperfect world to dwell in our hearts. Through personal anecdotes about parenthood and the timeless question, “What will you do when God places the baby in your arms?”, John challenges us to consider our response to the gift of Jesus. Will we embrace Him, or let the moment pass by? Join us as we unpack this powerful truth and reflect on the Father’s choice to offer us salvation through His Son. ⁠⁠Email me your questions, comments, and suggestions.
