Jesus' birth was not a "plan B". So, the Christmas story did not begin in Bethlehem. It was part of God's perfect plan. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. Through Him all things were made;without Him nothing was made that had been made." Let us be sure to get the Christmas story right, start to finish. Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift! Merry Christmas!
