The story of Christmas is often reduced to a baby in a manager, some shepherds in a field, and singing angels. It is the story of God, the story of His love, the story of our redemption. So we look for the story behind the story of the manger, the story of what God has done for us in the birth of His son. And the first part of that story is that God has intervened on our behalf. When we needed Him, He showed up, He acted on our behalf, He intervened. May this challenge become an invitation for us to ask God to intervene in our lives today.
