Christmas Miracle Is About Showing Up, Being Present

Every December Christians joyfully share the miraculous story of the virgin birth — the singular most foundational tenant of our faith.

The Christ child entered the world as a humble baby and brought with him the miracles of hope and grace.

When asked if we believe in miracles, the resounding answer for Christians is undeniably yes. When we embrace the miracle of the virgin birth performed by our Lord and Savior, why doubt his ability to perform miracles on earth today?

In the face of the world's division and strife, the Lord can extend grace and mercy, and work miracles. Yes, amidst the chaos and disorder in our lives, the Lord can bring about miracles.

Do you believe in miracles? I have two miracle challenges for you.

My first challenge is to immerse yourself in the hope inherent in the story of the virgin birth, allow that miraculous hope to guide every day of your life — not just during the Christmas season.

The story of the virgin birth should not be the exclusive domain of the weeks after Thanksgiving and the new year.
