When God became a human being in the person of Jesus Christ, He willingly accepted the complications and afflictions that accompany life in a fallen world.
Somehow the joy of the season remains that one gift we don’t open. Why? We usually blame our condition on the commercialism or on those overcrowded shopping malls. But the real reason our joy stays wrapped up? Our selfishness.
An encounter with the remarkable Jesus of Nazareth typically prompted the question: Who is this man? A question we still ask, two thousand years later.

Nehemiah 11 recognizes the “willing unknowns,” a special group of people who served a vital function in Jerusalem but never saw their names in lights.

Nehemiah’s discernment helped him frustrate the plots of his adversaries. In the same way, God-given discernment can help us face intimidating circumstances in our own realms of leadership.
