Lukas 1:38

Wir neigen dazu, zu vergessen, dass die Personen bei der Geburt Christi Männer und Frauen wie du und ich waren. Was wäre, wenn uns das passiert wäre? Wie wäre unsere Haltung gewesen? Maria, Josef, die Hirten, Simeon, Hanna und die Weisen aus dem Morgenland: Was lehrt uns ihre Geschichte? Ich lade dich ein, drei Lektionen über die Geburt Christi zu entdecken.

Every good story has a plot twist—an unexpected moment that changes everything. One of the biggest plot twists in the Bible is the Christmas story. Over the next five days, we’ll explore how this one event changed the world and how it can change your life today.

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.
