The Bible is full of moments that can be lost on us as readers. Majestic moments can be read over and missed all too easily. The Christmas Story shouldn’t be one of those moments. In part, because the Old Testament builds and points to the birth of the Messiah as the heart of the story of scripture. It invites us to “behold” moments along the way that are meant to captivate us and draw us in. From OT prophecies to Christmas miracles to future promises- it’s all meant to leave us in awe. If we can grasp the magnitude of these moments, we’ll begin to see what Christianity is all about- even more than behaving, it’s beholding.
