The Christmas story is an amazing story of unity. In it, God becomes man and His light draws those rich and poor; wise and the simple; near and the far, to the One who is powerful enough to be bring unity to our deepest divisions. The gospel itself is an amazing story of unity, and when we embrace it’s truth we find ourselves a part of Christ’s body: the church. Like the shepherds and wisemen, we come to the church with different backgrounds and gifts and find ourselves united by the One who is powerful enough to bring unity to our deepest divisions.
