Advent Day 9: Vulnerable

The story of Advent is one of vulnerability.

•

The Divine comes to us, not in power, and not on a throne, but as a baby in the night in an old tumbledown stable.

•

What could be more vulnerable than a baby?

•

Jesus centered your needs and appeared in vulnerability because of love.

•

In the midst of your mess, he loves you.

•

And his love for you made him vulnerable.

•

In the end, it made him killable.

•

Love makes us vulnerable.

•

Advent invites us into the story of vulnerability, into the story of love.

•

Will you love others even if it may hurt?

•

What would it look like to be vulnerable and put someone else’s needs ahead of your own?

•

Even if they didn’t appreciate it. Even if they didn’t love you back?
