What looked like a quiet moment in history was actually God’s grand plan unfolding. Through Roman rule, ancient prophecy, and two ordinary people, God brought forth the extraordinary - Jesus Christ, born in Bethlehem. Luke reminded us this wasn’t a sentimental nativity scene, but the intersection of real history and divine purpose. The birth of Jesus proves God keeps His promises and reveals true power, not through force, but through a Savior who brings eternal peace. This Christmas, we’re invited to marvel at the God who entered our world to rescue us and place our trust in Him.
