What makes for a great story? Is it the writing? is it the well though out plot with credible, well developed characters? It seems that you need a great subject to talk about, perhaps a king or queen? So isn't it interesting that there are no major players except God in the story of the birth of the Son of God. There is an unknown young woman who is pledged to a man in a small town in the northern Israel who are faithful to each other and to God. and because of their courage, their willingness to be servants, we know God and know his Son in our lives. Maybe to illustrate you might watch the link below. It is from A Christmas Carol:
Christmas is a moment in time for us when we stop to consider that God has come to us. Indeed God does come to us in the person of Jesus Christ and Christ comes to us in deep humility and great vulnerability. After all what can move the heart of a person more than the the face of a new born child? What can possibly affect change in the life of a curmudgeon more than that of a B.F.F. (best friend forever)?
Let God give you his presence this Christmas that you might go out into all the world both to proclaim that Jesus is born in Bethlehem and that he is living present to us and our community today. Be the presence of God in the places and spaces you will live in this Christmas. Maranatha!
