The real Jesus is so much more than we imagine. More than a sweet baby in a manger, his arrival is about love made flesh, taking hands and feet and coming surprisingly close to our every day lives. Enter these pages and join us on Christmas Eve and find this one who comes near to each of us.

one of us
On a cold December evening she walked quietly into the coffeeshop.
She knew no one would be waiting for her arrival. The feeling was becoming familiar.
She slumped into a chair, her eyes filling with tears as she replayed the past few days.
It had been a painful slide. So many harsh words, another break-up.
“If only,” she wondered as she sipped a cup of weak coffee and watched the rain fall.
A soft, unfamiliar voice stirred her from her thoughts. “How’s the coffee?”
She turned to look. She remembered him from TV. He was known for doing good.
“Well, sir, I could use something stronger than this coffee,” she said, raising her cup.
He smiled. “Yeah, I’ve found it takes more to wake me up than what I can find here.”
Then he motioned to the empty chair across the table and asked, “May I join you?”
She nodded, even though she wasn’t really in the mood for a conversation.
With a closer look in his eyes, she realized his presence might be the thing she needed.
Who was this man, she wondered, and why had he dared to come so close?
