Christmas is so much more than a re-enactment of a famously beloved story, illustrated on frosted holiday cards, and draped in tinsel garland. Indeed, our hearts are warmed by images of the Holy Child, wrapped in rags, slumbering in a feed trough.
Since childhood we have cherished the stories of shepherds and the great star. We love to imagine the sweetness of angel voices filling the heavens with song. Our heart aches for that young unwed mother and her dear spouse, gazing on His tiny face, overcome with love, rapture and fear.
Jesus is here!
