The Christmas story is perhaps the best-known story in all of the Bible. It has been re-enacted time and again by adults and children alike. We warm to the images of Jesus' birth and the wonder of that first Christmas. If we take a closer look, we might find that the story has more wonder than we ever realized. It is a story filled with ordinary people finding themselves in God's great plan of salvation. Maybe that makes it easier to find ourselves in this story.
