The Christmas Story

"But they delight in the law of the LORD, meditating on it day and night." (Psalm 1:2)

One of my favorite Christmas photos is this one—Mama reading The Night Before Christmas to her grandkids on Christmas Eve, 1985.

Beloved, as we ponder the Christmas story on this countdown to Christmas, let us meditate on how the true story of Christmas fits into the overarching story of the Bible: God's plan to save humanity from rebellion and restore His good earth. Jesus is God's solution to man's problem.
