It is sometimes surprising that something as theologically profound as the incarnation can be so prominent in our culture. It is less surprising to see when our culture gets it wrong. Far from the make-believe, sappy sentiment that makes up most of what counts for “Christmas spirit,” the truth of Christmas is a story unlike any other. From the angelic announcement that proclaims “Behold, He is here! He has come down!” to the parallel angelic announcement that proclaims, “Behold, He is not here! He is risen!”, the best part of this story is that it’s all true.
