Christmas songs tell us this is “the most wonderful time of the year,” a season when we’re supposed to be full of cheer. But what if money is tight, the gifts don’t come, or the people we love aren’t with us? In this message, the angels remind us that when we turn our focus back to God, it truly can be the most wonderful time of the year.
Though familiar to many, the angelic announcement to the virgin Mary provides profound insight into the divine nature of Jesus Christ. It also exemplifies the faith and trust required to embrace God's plans for our lives.
We've been conditioned to think of the Christmas story as a cute rendition of a couple having their first child. But if we look at it in detail, it actually reads more like a Christmas drama that looks a lot like our own lives reminding us how much we need God to be with us!
