When was the last time you and your family sat down together and read the Christmas story?

Many of us are familiar with the story of Mary and Joseph and the first Christmas—we’re re-familiarized with it every year. But there’s more to the Christmas story than what happens at Bethlehem. The story of the promised Messiah’s arrival is a thread woven through the entirety of the Bible, Old and New Testament alike. In fact, most of the Old Testament account is preparation for this moment—this crux in history.

This email devotional will walk you through the story of Christmas—foretold from the prophets, narrated in the Gospels. You’ll come away with fresh understanding of the familiar, often-told story.
