Messiah and the mall

We're made to be creative. Like God himself.

Christmas is God at his creative best. 'Dropping in' on the world, to the surprise, consternation and delight (depending on who you were) of the multitudes.

Brilliant. Audacious. Breath-taking. Life-changing. Turning a corner in history.

How 'creative' can we be in a manner reflective of God?

Well, how about this. Back on the 13th November this year a whole crowd of unsuspecting shoppers got a big surprise while enjoying their lunch. 'Christmas' kind of happened all over again. (Click on the picture to view it)

There were over 100 participants in this 'Christmas Flash Mob', using their combined creative talents (and a good deal of Spirit-given courage, since they risked occasioning offence, ridicule and possibly [who knows these days] the sanctions of the law), to sound out that glorious good news of Jesus all over again!

Isn't this what we're called to be and do as Christians?
