Heaven kissed earth in a Bethlehem stable. Veiled in our flesh, God got too close for comfort.
Forget every sappy Christmas movie you've ever seen. Those stories can't hold a candle to the characters, emotion and plot of the actual drama of Christmas. The rote Bible stories recited each year in traditional services and children's pageants may be well worn. But they are not worn out. There is much more to Christmas than tinsel, trees and too many treats.
In a place no king in his right mind would visit, much less allow his son to be born, God came. He inaugurated a single life that would alter every life that followed. The stories of the Season show that God went farther than we could dream, to give us more than we could imagine.
Everything changed that one silent night.
Advent—"The Coming"—is the preparation to celebrate that coming. Veiled In Flesh brings new light and breathes new life into the oft-told stories of angels, shepherds, Mary, Joseph, Magi, manger and all the rest. Read it carefully, thoughtfully. You will find gifts in Christmas you've never unwrapped before.
