Christmas turns everything upside down This is the central truth of th — Immanuel

"Christmas turns everything upside down This is the central truth of the incarnation — "Immanuel, God with us." The upside of heaven come down to earth. "The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory, . . . full of grace and truth." Men miss the entire meaning of Jesus when they see in him the highest upreach of man; he is God reaching down and making common cause with mans struggle. The meaning of Christmas puts down the mighty things in mens minds from their seats — place, riches, talents — and exalts the things of low degree — humility, simplicity, and trust."
