You Are a Miracle

“The irony of Jesus’ later followers choosing a miraculous birth story somehow to proclaim him as special is that what actually made Jesus special was his ability somehow to resist the rest of the world’s denial that everyone is special. His ability to remember that every birth is a miracle, that every life is a wonder – and to treat everyone as such. The revolutionary power of Jesus is not summed up in a virgin birth story but in how Jesus lived what we proclaim every time we gather … that God dwells in YOU. That every time we meet each other we are meeting a miracle. That every time we look in the mirror, we are looking at a miracle.” Sermon by Mike Kinman from the virtual worship at All Saints Church, Pasadena, at 11:15 a.m. on the fourth Sunday of Advent, December 20, 2020.
