[This was written as a short thought for parents and children after a number of school nativity plays.]
What is
your favourite fairy tale?
What if
that fairy tale were true, how would life change?
Eg be scared of going to Grannies in
case she’s a talking wolf
Go round kissing frogs and give up
on internet dating
Have a fairy Godmother who gave you
three wishes
Get dressed much quicker for parties
Often we
treat the Christmas story as a fairy tale, it’s magical and beautiful but
ultimately not true!
Luke, who
tells us most about the Christmas story, begins by saying that he’s checked out
all the details, spoken to the people who were there and everything he’s
writing actually happened!
So what
does that change? Means life has meaning and purpose, life after death,
friendship with God now instead of being His enemies.
Why not
find out more?
