in Rochester
Upside-Down Christmas
The birth of Jesus occurred in such an unexpected and humble way. Born in a manger to a young, poor couple in a small town, this event defied the world's expectations of what a king’s arrival should look like.
Rather than coming in glory or power, Jesus was born in vulnerability, offering a message of hope, humility, and love. His birth in a lowly stable symbolized that God's presence is not limited to the powerful or the wealthy but is available to all, especially the marginalized.
This unexpected start set the tone for a life that would challenge norms and redefine greatness through selfless service and sacrifice.
