The most beautiful story ever told is the story of our Savior Jesus Christ being born in Bethlehem. Not only is it a beatiful story, it is probably the most famous of all stories. Thousands of years ago there was a group of shepherds tending their flocks when God sent forth a message that Christ had been born. They made their way to a manger and witnessed the arrival of Jesus. As quickly as they had come, they soon left and began to spread the good news. Over 2000 years ago the story began to be told and people believed. Over the past few weeks, churches all over the world have been still been telling the story. But this story is more than just famous, it is one of the most important accounts of Christ that we need to hear.

The birth of Jesus reveals to us God’s desire to dwell with humanity. It is a story of the incarnation of God. God to flesh! John wrote in his gospel, “and the word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen His glory, glory as the only Son…” (John 1:14) Without Christ in Christmas, we have nothing more than just a fairy tale. Without Christ in Christmas it is just a story. Without Christ in Christmas we have nothing more than a yellow brick road to darkness. This holiday season we have more to celebrate than just time off or time with family and friends. During this time of every year we have the amazing opportunity to celebrate the birth of the glorious One!
