Christmas has become all about
shopping,
Santa,
cards,
food,
drinks,
Making Merry.

And when we try to bring Christmas back to the basic,
to the baby,
I realize it's so much more than the
babe in the manger.

Luke 19:45-48

This is the story of when Jesus went to the temple

and got so mad. 

He managed to get the big shots mad as well.
Jesus shook things up.

They started plotting how to have Jesus killed.

This wasn't the first time Jesus' life was in danger

The poor boy was still a toddler 

and Herod tried to have him killed.
Jesus shook things up.

Matthew 2:16, 

Herod orders the killing of all boys in
Bethlehem 2 years old and younger.

I pray for Jesus to shake things up today.

It's part of our Christmas story.
It's part of our Christ story.
