Amos

He had been scared out of his wits that night. Everything was normal, then everything was unbelievable. The dark sky was spangled with angels, the silence broken by song, the loneliness vanquished by angels telling about the birth of Messiah! He had seen the baby that night in Bethlehem, but babies can’t save you from the Romans. Now he is selling sheep in Jerusalem for the Passover. Rumor has it that there will be a crucifixion today of a man born in Bethlehem - in a manger. Theme: Doubt and the maturing of faith.
