Luke 1:26-38, 2:1-11 | Ben Potloff | Only in light of the Old Testament's foreshadowing can the birth of Christ be recognized and appreciated for its gloriousness. As our Advent season comes to its high point, we are left with the scene of the Lord Jesus born to a virgin in a manger. The story of Christ's birth is the story of a God who would humble himself, take on the limitations of humanity, and dwell with sinful people for the sake of saving them. Glory to God in the highest!
