“Why is the Christmas story so powerful? Because there is no other story like it. There is no other day like it. There is no other love like it. In every generation since that first Christmas, this story has been told with reverence and awe and gratitude. Like believers from every nation, and in every age, we are drawn to the humble stable of Bethlehem. Our hearts are filled with love and amazement and wonder. In our own time we make that same proclamation that has been expressed for two millennia: ‘Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!’ (2 Corinthians 9:1, NIV).”—Read “Come to the Manger” on page 8.
