Christmas Legends
In-Person & Online
A legend is a familiar story often regarded as historical but also often considered unauthenticated. Legends often possess set-apart, larger-than-life qualities that stand out from what’s around them. Legends transcend the ordinary and as they are passed down can enter the realm of folklore and sometimes myth. It is not uncommon for a legend to grow over time – even to the point of the legend no longer being accurate or true.
It may be a matter of semantics but when we ask if something is legendary or mere legend, the intent is to dig below the surface for what is true and the significant and lasting impact. In the story of the first Christmas, what is true and legendary is transformational.
Christmas Eve
In-Person
The predictions and prophecies had stacked up for centuries. The Messiah, one sent by God to redeem and restore Israel, would be sent. And it wasn’t just one prophet, one prophecy, or one season. The predictions and prophecies had come from many different persons, stacked up into the hundreds, and through generations. It might be safe to say that the one who would fulfill the predictions and prophecies would have been waited for, looked for, and maybe even longed for. What if Jesus was the fulfillment of those predictions and prophecies? What if Jesus still is the fulfillment of those predictions and prophecies? What if Jesus is even more than that? Wouldn’t that make his birth worth celebrating?
