Christmas is a special time for family and friends and for many it’s a well-deserved break from the toils and stresses of a working life. Above all else Christmas is about children and more specifically one infant born far from home in a stable because there was no welcome anywhere for a poor woman about to deliver her first born child.
The child Jesus sneaked secretly into our world, unannounced and unrecognised. No fanfare, no razzmatazz, not even a midwife to assist with his delivery. His first visitors were the lowly and despised shepherds and sometime later a bunch of astrologists stumbled upon his birthplace.
But what if Jesus were to return again and make his home in Kenya! What would he make of the country and what would he have to say to authorities, bishops, priests, police and politicians? Most likely he would avoid the company and comforts of most of that crew and make his home in Korogocho, Nyalenda, Kibarani or perhaps with the displaced in Kakuma or Dadaab.
