This Sunday we had an opportunity to tell the "story of Christmas" through a musical troupe of story tellers. For many people, the story is just some unrealistic fable about a virgin giving birth to a guy who would later die and be raised from the dead. Unrealistic and, even if true, irrelevant.
Seeing God's creative gifts embedded in musicians, singers, writers, and directors in such a way that the "rest of the story" comes through is what blows my mind. It is amazing to me that God can use his people to share, in 35 minutes, the outline of His story. Starting with creation ("in the beginning") to the human condition (sin) to the sending of His son to satisfy our need and longing (Christmas) to the ultimate death and new life (Easter).
God was at work this past Sunday as individuals in the service and in the children's ministry made 1st time decisions to accept Christ as savior and to follow him as their Lord. Although not always a stroll in the hay, what a joy to be serving God and advancing His kingdom on earth as we prepare the bride (church) for His return.
