Humility is the measure of greatness

Morning: Psalms 45, 46; Baruch 4:36-5:9; Matthew 1:18-25
It’s Christmas Eve; so, what do you think of Jesus? … Some think he is an exemplary human being, someone to imitate. But we call Jesus ‘Lord’ because he humbles himself, becomes like us, one of us.  This is the absolutely unique thing about Jesus; it is what makes him great. Heroes make us want to be like them, but we cannot all be heroes. Jesus wants us to be the humble, earthy creatures that we are; we can all do that. He honours our humanity by becoming human and calls us to be nothing more or less than ourselves.
