The Christmas Story (Luke 2:1-20) is the story of God showing up in a most unexpected way - in the flesh, in the person of Jesus Christ, a baby conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born to his mother Mary. Luke begins his Gospel narrative by preparing the way for the birth of Jesus with the birth of John the Baptist - and how God shows up for John’s parents, Elizabeth and Zachariah (Luke 1:1-25). In this Advent Season, how are you preparing for God to show up in your life?
