Christmas is the most joyous time of the year as families and friends get together to celebrate the birth of Christ.
I’ll never forget going to see my first live nativity. Surrounded by our family, Christmas was extra special for us. It was a cold, rainy night as we all sat huddled together on a bench watching the Bible come alive.
Gabriel visited Mary, announcing the most glorious event of human history. “The Holy Spirit shall come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you like a shining cloud” (Luke 1:35). Then shall come a miracle above all the miracles humanity has ever known—the birth of Jesus Christ.
We sat in awe as the live donkeys, camels, cows, and other animals surrounded baby Jesus as he lay in the manger.
Under the magnificent, bright shining star, the Magi bowed to the baby as they presented their treasures of gold, incense, and myrrh. Christmas begins here in the manger as the story of Christ’s birth unfolds. Just as the Magi bowed down and worshipped Him may our hearts be prepared every day to honor our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
God had not forsaken Mary. He knew exactly where she was, and she was exactly where He wanted her to be.
Jesus was born a child of destiny just as each one of us. May we never forget the Christmas story and share it with all of our friends.
