Hope and fear of All the Years... Are Met in Thee Tonight

[Our Christmas Eve message ] Part 5 of our series, "Hopes and Fears of All the Years". No one there could ever guess what was happening. In fact, a lot of the small towns would’ve been better places to hail from–like Jerusalem, City of David–just 7 miles away. But this night–it would be Bethlehem, just like the prophet, Micah, had said 700 years earlier: out of Bethlehem would come a ruler. No one suspected it was God– who looked just like every other baby. God coming to us to fulfill all of our hopes and settle our fears, in the form of a baby.
