"But what I thought about this morning was how wonderful it is that we just bring who we are to the feet of Jesus. And even though we're not standing in front of a physical manger, even though I'm not in that scene, and I know that Drummer Boy wasn't really in that scene, and I know that the wise men, actually came like two years later or whatever it was, because it didn't all happen. But there's something actually really interesting about kind of picturing all of that in one place." [00:49:55] (44 seconds)
