When the US President George Bush flew into Bagdad one Christmas some years ago, on a secret visit, every detail planned, every contingency catered for, security, emergency medical supplies with his blood type, bomb squads, sniffer dogs, police snipers, no-fly zones for aircraft, …. nothing was too much trouble to get it right. But when God visited our world one other Christmas night it was a very different scenario. A 15-year-old pregnant teenage girl, she will arrive by donkey, she will come to Bethlehem on a night when the village is full of visitors, be born in a dirty cowshed out the back of the local pub, and later on a jealous King Herod will be trying to kill him and every other male baby born at that time.... what kind of a strategy is that for God to visit planet earth?
