Advent Season 2010 - Week 2

"And God said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years" - Genesis 1:14
...
"Then Herod called the Magi secretly and found out from them the exact time the star had appeared. He sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and search carefully for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him.”" 
- Matthew 2:7-8
...
... 
As we continue to live out our lives this Holiday Season we are challenged to remember the entire story leading up to the birth of Jesus Christ in Bethlehem almost 2,000 years ago and the lives of people challenged & changed by what was revealed to them.
...
The thoughts and emotions of a young woman Mary who is visited by the angel Gabriel and told that she is favored by God and will bear His son.  - Luke 1: 26-38
...
The thoughts and emotions of that young woman Mary, pledged to be married to Joesph the carpenter, as she explains to her family and her future husband that she is pregnant and not by another man. - Matthew 1:18
...
The thoughts of a young man being visited in a dream by an angel telling him to embrace his expectant bride and the child that she carries. - Matthew 1:20
...
How are you challenged by the story of the birth of Christ?
...
How are you changed by the birth of Christ?
...
Grace & Peace
