God came in through the cracks of Roman society at Christmas. He was born in a hole in the wall, literally, in a cave which served as a stable. God is still at work today through the cracks in history. Today we look at the world scene and we think that the real players are those with money and power. Our nation has military power greater than any Caesar could have ever imagined.
Society thinks that the world belongs to the beautiful and famous and gifted.
I think the church, even evangelicals in America, has sometimes gotten caught up in this trap. This recent presidential election is a great example. God does not work primarily through the White House or Congress or the Supreme Court. God usually works in other ways, through other people. He comes through the cracks.
