Spoken Word: Do You See What I See?
This past weekend we featured a spoken word transition piece written by one of the guys on our team, Josh Pease. It was a really cool tone-setter for the talk, and he just posted it on his MySpace. Here’s a clip to get you started, I promise you the whole thing is worth reading:
Do you see what I see?
Or so the Christmas song goes, asking a question then not waiting for the answer.
Do you see what I see?
Lying in the middle of a manger – a bundled-up baby lying in hay, or so they say, and we already know exactly how the story goes – a tidy scene with shepherds and angels and Mary and mangers.
But do you see what I see?
How no one quite knew what to do with this tiny little baby born in Bethlehem. How he provoked anger and awe and confusion and questions. How this tiny little baby made wise men want to seek Him and King Herod want to kill Him, and angels to proclaim Him. How shepherds flocked to bow before Him and how Mary and Joseph sat and watched and wondered how this fragile child – born in afterbirth and umbilical cords, incapable of words, but wailing and feeding and sleeping in a feeding trough – could possibly be God in the flesh.
