Bellshill and Bothwell Parish Church

Yet, it was these outsiders who chose to travel through danger. It was these outsiders who relied on hospitality from strangers and unfamiliar places to find their way. It was these outsiders who brought gifts. Gifts that may well have enabled Mary and Joseph to take Jesus and flee to find refuge. It was these outsiders who were profoundly different from Mary and Joseph. And yet, and yet at the manger found unity. Because Jesus transcended every difference that separated them and brought them together.
