ရှာန်လုကာ 1:38

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.

أهم لحظة   في تاريخ العالم كانت عندما صار   يسوع، الذي هو نور العالم، جسدًا ليحلَّ بيننا.  أعلنت الملائكة عن مجيئه،   وكُتِبَت القصائد، وركض الرعاة ورنمَت مريم! تعالَ معنا في رحلة مدّتها خمسة أيام لنتأمل في نوره، وفي الطريقة التي ألهم فيها كل من حوله   وما تأثير هذا علينا اليوم.

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.
