Are we in danger of making Jesus become more like us? Have we created Jesus in our image: safe, middle-of-the-road, comfortable? His authorised biographies tell a very different story, they speak of Jesus as passionate, confrontational, exclusive, even extreme.

For many the real story of their lives is marked by disappointment, fear and a general confusion about what life is really all about. In contrast, God’s story is one of love for this hurting, broken world, a story of his coming to rescue us, to bring us hope for now and the future. How then do we help people discover God’s story? The answer: our story.

God took an incredible risk in leaving heaven to come to earth. It was His great risk that caused those caught up in the story to take risks of their own in order to get involved in what God was doing. It’s that same risk – The Christmas risk – that we too are called to make. To leave the comfort of our “heaven” and get involved with what God’s doing in the world today.
