03991 – Compassion, not Control
Cremer, Benjamin

Christmas reminds us that God didn’t become an emperor controlling an empire.

God didn’t become a general commanding legions.

God didn’t become a creed, a Bible, or a set of doctrines to be imposed.

God became a helpless baby born to a poor family desperately in need of the compassion of others.

Christmas reminds us that we simply do not define power the way God does.

God changes the world by the way of compassion, not control.
