Today I’m preparing for our Candlelight Christmas Eve service. As I study the account of the birth of Jesus I’m always amazed at what I didn’t see in this Christmas story the last time I looked. If ever there was a multifaceted story, the coming of the Son of God to earth is it.
This story is so rich with…
- unusual characters
- angels
- dreams
- kings
- strangers
- scandal
- drama
- joy
- sorrow
- gifts
- opportunities
I pray that this Christmas you will see something new. May Christmas never be the-same-old-story-all-over-again. Look with new eyes, hear with new ears, experience with a new heart. It’s the greatest story ever told!
Merry Christmas!
