The Journey to Christmas
Telling the story of Christmas! Mary and Joseph are on their way to Bethlehem (that was illustrated the first week in the video-HOPE). The shepherds out in the field tending the sheep (that was illustrated last week in the video-PEACE). The Wise men are searching for the place where the Messiah, the King of Kings, will be born (that was illustrated the third week in the video-JOY). The stable has become the point of celebration in the birth of the Prince of Peace as the shepherds and Wise men have gathered to honor the new born King (that is illustrated this week in the video-LOVE).
We are having fun sharing the greatest story ever told with the progression of characters who are depicted in the Nativity narrative.
Lake Side Church has been telling the scared story (Luke 2:1-20) with its Nativity lawn figurines. Each week during Advent the Christmas story is being acted out as the drama unfolds leading up to the birth of Christ. And this saga will continue as the nativity characters disperse to return to their respective places over the next several weeks.
If somehow this gets you thinking again about the Christmas story, then that would be wonderful.
With all the excitement around the holiday celebration, just be reminded that Jesus is the reason for the season! Jesus is our Hope, our Peace, our Joy, and the Love that came at Christmas to save the world. And the story doesn’t end as we take down our decorations, actually, it is just beginning.
And if you are out riding around the lake, taking in the sights, come by our place, 8130 Moneta Road, Bedford, VA, and let us know what you think.
