Have we ever considered the disappointment of God? There had been a battle in heaven. The accusations had been harsh\u2014that God is an inappropriate glory hog, that he is arbitrary and selfish at his core, and that living within borders of his design is unnecessarily restrictive. Before we hear the gospel story, there\u2019s the promise of wisdom and freedom in doing your own thing. That circle of Trinity life that was opened, and that inner circle who longed to invite humanity in, was rejected for a counterfeit. In announcing the results, God gives a glimmer of his plan of hope and coming Christmas Joy.

This week one of our #fhcTAKEAWAYS asked the question: \u00a0How do you think Mary and Joseph worked through their failed plans?
