Nativity
Matt Crain
We LOVE the nostalgia of Christmas traditions and trappings, but we especially love the famous nativity scene of Christ's birth. The angels singing, the little wooden stable, the wise men coming to give their gifts, the shepherds sweetly bowing in glowing admiration. Cue the sighs and smiles.
Except the reality of the birth of Jesus (as told in the Bible) is a very different scene. Today we're going to "strip away" our misconceptions of the nativity scene and discover a picture that is much, much more beautiful...and life-giving!
