A time of presents, family, Christmas carols and joy as we celebrate the birth of our Saviour King. However, all too often in this Christmas season, the story finishes in the manger. We don’t stop to consider Mary and Joseph’s visit with their baby to the temple, or the loss of thousands of children due to Herod’s hunt for the Messiah. We sometimes also forget the frantic race to Egypt for Mary and Joseph in order to protect their newborn son.   Over the course of the next 10 days, we will consider the events in the arrival of our Saviour. How the word became flesh, the virgin teenager who became the mother of our Saviour King, her husband’s wrestle with heart and mind, the birth of their son, the one who would rescue us all, the prophesies of Anna and Simeon, the heartbreak of a nation and the Saviour King becoming a refugee.  All these events are woven together in a tapestry that proclaims God’s deep, sacrificial and saving love for us! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
