Our
salvation comes from something small, tender, and vulnerable, something hardly
noticeable. God, who is the Creator of the Universe, comes to us in smallness,
weakness, and hiddenness. I find this a hopeful message. Somehow, I keep
expecting loud and impressive events to convince me and others of God’s saving
power; but over and over again I am reminded that spectacles, power plays, and
big events are the ways of the world. Our temptation is to be distracted by
them and made blind to the "shoot that shall sprout from the stump"
[Isaiah 11:1].
