Over this past weekend, I have sung O Come, O Come Emmanuel and Angels We Have Heard on High more than all the other times in my life combined I think. What an amazing ministry Bethlehem Revisited is. There were about 1,800 people that went through this past weekend with about 3/4 being first time visitors. More importantly were the huge number of international students that went through. One of the guides was commenting that a number of the Chinese folks were saying they had never heard of the Christmas story before. Boy, that hits home to an American huh? I wonder how many folks out there just don’t know the story of Christmas. May we remember the truth of the season before us this year. Let us not be so distracted by the hype that we miss the purpose and joy behind that birth in a stable 2000 years ago.
