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.

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.

Julehistorien finnes i evangeliene til Matteus og Lukas. En engel besøker Maria for å fortelle henne at hun skulle føde Guds Sønn. Jesus er født i Betlehem. Hyrdene kommer for å se ham, og magiene fra øst følger en stjerne til Jesus.
