لُوقَا 28:1-30

The Christmas story is the story of how God intervened in history through the birth of Jesus. The lives of Mary, Joseph, and the shepherds were utterly changed by this event. They found hope, love, peace, and joy; join the team from Vertical Worship as we remember together how, through Jesus, we can find these too. 

أهم لحظة   في تاريخ العالم كانت عندما صار   يسوع، الذي هو نور العالم، جسدًا ليحلَّ بيننا.  أعلنت الملائكة عن مجيئه،   وكُتِبَت القصائد، وركض الرعاة ورنمَت مريم! تعالَ معنا في رحلة مدّتها خمسة أيام لنتأمل في نوره، وفي الطريقة التي ألهم فيها كل من حوله   وما تأثير هذا علينا اليوم.

Our Christmas story starts with the angel’s annunciation to Mary and concludes with the visit of the Magi. In these reflections and applications of the Christmas narrative I will mostly refer to Luke, as his is the fullest of the gospel accounts.

Slow down and savor time with the Savior this season. Choose to pause and ponder as Mary did, to get lost in the wonder of Immanuel, of God with us. This year, let it be simply Christmas.
