The season of advent is a season of possibility. Jesus’ birth means the impossible has become possible. God taking on human flesh means that though you thought life had to be one way, it turns out another way is possible. The Creator becoming part of the creation, means that though you knew God was supposed to do one thing, God knows some things you don’t know. To paraphrase Isaiah, Christmas means, God’s ways are not our ways because His thoughts are higher than our thoughts. And in the face of this kind of bigger-still God, the proper response is faith.
