Its hard to argue with the big picture, God himself showing up, not like the Gentiles, in a palace, in power (through the sword) but as a child of the pious poor, in scandal, with threat of death... as we are Jesus hands and feet, birthing him into the world, it seems that more often than not, we should be finding ourselves in similar situations.
