Two frightened young parents, a newborn babe, a bed of straw. What if what happened then changes everything now? It’s easy to forget that the Christmas holiday has anything to do with God’s plan to restore mankind to himself. But the fact is that this commercialized, secularized holiday is meant to commemorate the most audacious miracle of all time - the arrival of Immanuel, God with us. The Christmas Experience shows us that Jesus is worth waiting for. His coming into the world may not make our circumstances easier - in fact, like many who experienced the first Christmas, the very opposite may be true - but he does give our lives purpose and true joy. He brings a joy that the world cannot give or understand. The people who lived through the miraculous events of that first Christmas experienced firsthand the impact of Jesus’ life. Mary and Joseph, the shepherds, the wise men - all of them would be forever changed. That can still happen today. It can happen to anyone who turns their eyes to Jesus, God with us, and travels with him through Christmas story as if for the first time. (Based on The Christmas Experience by Kyle Idleman)
