The Christmas story reveals where God shows up when life gets hard. Mary and Joseph's difficult 90-mile journey to Bethlehem, ending with Jesus being born in a stable, wasn't an accident but a divine declaration. God chose to enter the world among the powerless, oppressed, and struggling rather than in places of comfort and privilege. This shows us that when we're searching for God in our darkest moments, we should look not to places of power and success, but among those who are hurting and marginalized. The night Jesus was born, God said no more to injustice and began changing everything. That same transformative power is still at work today, inviting us to join this mission of bringing hope and justice to our world.
