TomaAs 1:16 (NEBH On a trip to the Holy Land, I bought a nativity set for my Sunday school. Carved out of olive wood in Bethlehem itself, the creche had all the traditional figures -- sheep and oxen, wise men and shepherds, Mary and Joseph, and, of course, the baby Jesus. For the return trip, security at Tel Aviv airport was very strict. I remember thinking they would not trouble to examine my nativity set; it was obviously innocent. But they did. Each figure was carefully scrutinized and even taken away for X-ray examination. "You see," said the security officer, "we must make sure there is nothing ex plosive in them." I was permitted to keep my Christmas tableau because it did not contain anything explosive. Yet, in a way the Christmas scene is the most explosive event in history. Jesus' birth sparked a radical change. He came to earth to make God's love visible, transforming the lives of all those who believed His explosive message. Two thousand years later, the power of God's action in Bethlehem still has not diminished. PRAYER: Give us the desire and the courage, O God, to let Jesus transform us. Amen. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Christ is still transforming lives.
