A World Three Times Bigger
Our family started watching our Christmas movies early this year. We love Christmas Vacation, Charlie Brown’s Christmas, Home Alone (one and two), Rudolph, and Frosty the Snowman, not to mention Jim Carrey’s The Grinch and Benedict Cumberbatch’s The Grinch. And there’s also the movies that are not so much Christmas movies as movies-set-at-Christmas: The Holiday, Love Actually, Just Friends, and, of course, Die Hard.
Did I miss Elf? Nope. In our house Elf is a year-round movie.
Did I miss any? Even if I already said it, shout it out!
In 2018’s The Grinch with Benedict Cumberbatch, the Mayor of Whoville calls for Christmas to be three times bigger than last year. Lights, presents, songs, parties, all three times bigger!
The beginning of John’s gospel doesn’t mention the normal Christmas themes we’re used to. But it tells a story about what happened at Christmas. He tells about a world that got THREE TIMES BIGGER (to borrow the words from the Mayor of Whoville). It’s about the love of God and the inbreaking of a kingdom and a God who is more present than we ever imagined! It is a picture of an understanding of God that is bigger, more hopeful, more peaceful, more joyful, and more full of love than we ever could have pictured or imagined.
