My name's Marcus Mack, I'm a Vicar in the Church of England. Is it possible to be spiritually fast asleep
0:13
When I lived at home, my mum one morning was so surprised
0:17
that I'd managed to sleep through the night while a helicopter was hovering over our house
0:22
and police cars with their sirens on full blast was down our road
0:26
I was sceptical at first because I didn't believe I could sleep through that kind of disturbance
0:34
I was alive but completely asleep to the presence of police. Is it possible to be completely asleep to the presence of God
0:45
To be so asleep that scepticism becomes the air we breathe. In the Bible many people were in the presence of Jesus but were asleep to his true identity
0:57
With the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ this Christmas, we are reminded that God came in human form to disturb us from spiritual sleep
1:08
He came to wake us up so that we could know the presence of God in this world
1:14
The night is nearly over. Jesus came to wake us from slumber
1:19
So let us discard the deeds of darkness and walk in the light of Christ
