Christmas Day, 2016

Conceived inside imperfection
     was He.
Born into sin's possibilities
     was the plan.
All with a woman,
     as holy and flawed
     as Rahab and David,
     Peter and Paul,
     you and me.

Living midst Satan's evil
     did He.
Drawing the sinful heart
     ever closer.
Everything with purpose,
     cradle to cross,
     birth to death,
     a work of mercy
     now complete.
