My earliest memories of the nativity story were found in that little display my mother would put out each and every Christmas. It was calm, beautiful, peaceful, and incredibly serene. Yet, as I have grown with this story, I have found that the biblical narrative of that first Christmas morning was anything but calm, peaceful, and serene.
In this Advent daily devotional, we'll dig into the Christmas story found in Matthew and Luke's gospels and look at those in the nativity story. Where did this story meet them and where does it meet us today?
Let's recapture some wonder this holiday season.
