Poem: Oh why are we searching from cradle to manger?
Luke 2: 41-52
Oh why are we searching from cradle to manger?
From Christmas to Easter God comes as a stranger.
From Bethlehem's stable, a child in a temple,
two people in exile, a man with a temper,
Beyond all the tinsel the story emerging:
of human significance, God's love still surging
now comes as a baby, the power of creation
a vulnerable infant and now our relation.
