 It truly is the most wonderful time of the year! Not because the decorations are beautiful, the music is cheerful, or the season is nostalgic, but because it’s a season during which we intentionally place Jesus at the forefront and focus upon Him. While the decorations and holiday cheer are fine and good, they should never be the focus. As Christians, we know the true meaning of Christmas and, therefore, ought to celebrate and focus our minds and hearts accordingly.
For this reason, I’ll be taking time this month to reflect and highlight different parts of the Christmas story. Over the past five years, I’ve looked at Christmas through the eyes of different members of the story. Mary’s wide-eyed wonder, Joseph’s steadfast gaze, Elizabeth’s joy, the shepherd’s fear, Bethlehem’s busyness, Simon’s amazement, and the magi’s worship. Each character has a unique perspective from which we gain greater insight into the miracle of Christmas.
