Christmas points us to the arrival of the promised "Emmanuel" God with us. We see in the Christmas narrative of Matthew 2 that the arrival of the Messiah doesn't usher in an era of unbroken peace; rather, it introduces a tumultuous interplay of terror and tragedy. Yet, we will discover that in this chaos, Mary's journey exemplifies resilience and steadfast faith, showcasing how to carry the promise of Jesus through life's unpredictable seasons.
