Bethlehem changes our perspective on God. Instead of looking up to the heavens, we look down on a manger.

Instead of God as spirit, we encounter God in the flesh. Instead of the unknown God, God has a face. God is no longer distant. God is here. But where do we see this elusive God, who chooses a stables over a palace and a cross over a throne?
