Wonderful Life
Anything but ordinary.
Have you ever wondered how one life can impact so many others?
A few days back, First Protestant Church’s theatre company, the Coll Street Players, presented a story called, “It’s a Wonderful Life.” Some of you will know the cherished black & white film version.
In one powerful scene, the main character George Bailey stands on a cold bridge, ready to give up. Just then, the angel Clarence shows up and guides George to see the difference his life makes, and could make, far beyond what he realized.
Christmas is all about the coming of God in human flesh, in the person of Jesus Christ. And this event teaches us that our ordinary lives are capable of hosting and welcoming the infinite majesty of God.
