Today we continue our series: “Ten Lessons for Today from the Christmas Story” with Episode 5. The first Christmas wasn’t as tidy (or as sanitized) as it is often portrayed in nativity scenes. In many ways, it was a mess. However, there was a message in spite of the messiness. And two thousand years later God can still help us to find messages in our messes. Scriptures referenced in this episode include Luke 2:12; Isaiah 53:3, 5; Luke 1:46-48; and Matthew 2:12.
