So,
we showed this video
on Christmas Sunday as part of our worship. The video was produced by Muddy
River Media and uses the song The Glory of it All by David Crowder Band.
What struck me about the video was that it shows Jesus in scenes that are full
to the brim and spilling over with joy. Joy in childbirth, joy in healing, joy
in friendship, joy in celebration, joy in the resurrection, joy in life.
It
made me wonder at what point I had decided unfettered joy was not part of my
worship. Maybe I spend too much time worrying about propriety or looking silly.
Maybe my tie is too tight, figuratively speaking since I rarely wear a tie. Maybe
I am too afraid, or too proud. Maybe I have let flannel graph Jesus, with all
of his seriousness and one-dimensional flatness, skew my understanding of who
Jesus really is and the joy that He brings.
