A paralytic is lowered through a roof by his friends to get to Jesus. Shocking words are spoken, and those words are then validated. Jesus calls a tax collector to follow Him which results in a large party where Jesus is criticized by the Pharisees for the company He is keeping and partying when He “should” have been fasting. And we hear a strange parable about new wine and old wineskins. Erick and Daniel discuss all of this.

Jesus is born, and His birth is proclaimed to shepherds which includes good news for all of us. An older man and woman praise God as Jesus is presented at the temple. We find that looking at Christ is the only way to “see your salvation”, that Jesus grows up in ways all humans do and the parents of the savior of the world can lose track of a child like anyone else.
