Acts 4:2

“They were greatly disturbed because the apostles were teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection of the dead.”

When Jesus appears there is always a disturbance. When light comes into the darkness the darkness reacts often angrily. We find disturbances throughout the Christmas story.
The disturbance of a young virgin girl called Mary.
The disturbance in Joseph battling feelings of betrayal.
The disturbance by Caesar Augustus issuing a census that meant everyone had to travel to their home town, as did Joseph and Mary.
The disturbance of the fearful shepherds by the glory of the Lord.
The disturbance of the night sky that the Magi interpreted correctly.
The disturbance in King Herod afraid of competition arranging for the massacre of the innocents.
The disturbance of Joseph and Mary who had to flee like asylum seekers into Egypt.
The first Christmas disturbed so many.
Jesus coming disturbed.
Jesus’ resurrection disturbed.
Jesus’ followers speaking of Him disturb.
It is not about baby Jesus meek and mild.
He is a disturbance!
