Many of us will be familiar with the Christmas Nativity – the picture or model of characters from the Christmas story. We often see these printed on Christmas cards or displayed in churches. Mary is crouched down beside the newborn Jesus who is lying in a straw-filled manger. Joseph, her husband, leans over close to her shoulder and then, further out, a handful of shepherds with their sheep and lambs look on in wonder. On the opposite side to the shepherds, Magi (or “wise men” as they are sometimes called), dressed in expensive robes and embroidered turbans present their mysterious gifts. Everything is arranged and posed for the perfect photo opportunity. The original Christmas events, of course, were nothing like this! The Magi likely arrived some considerable time after the birth (up to two years), so they never met the shepherds. Having just given birth, Mary probably did not feel like smiling for any camera, had they existed; and then there would have been the smell! A variety of animals in close proximity with everything that comes with them. But what the scene does show us is a snapshot of the kind of people God loves to bless and include in His plans. Nine months before, Mary, a young and innocent teenager, had said ‘yes' to God's announcement that the Holy Spirit will grow a new life within her, even though she faced the risk of being shamed and losing her husband-to-be, Joseph. In an extraordinary moment, when we might imagine the angels in Heaven holding their breath in anticipation, she simply said, “May it be to me according to your word” (Luke 1: 38).  We meet Joseph in Matthews gospel after he has found out the news. The feeling of betrayal in his heart would have been overwhelming, but even before the angel fills him in on the details, he puts his mind at rest, and Joseph's plans to call off the wedding are replaced with genuine kindness and compassion. This descendant of David has a heart like God's.  Joseph and Mary do get married, of course, and head to Bethlehem to fulfill the requirements of the Roman census. On the night of the birth, local shepherds also have an encounter with an angel, and then more angels. You have to ask: why would God choose shepherds? Shepherds were not found in the upper echelons of society. Shepherds were nobody. But God loves the humble and so he chose them to hear his big announcement.Finally, stargazers from another land were drawn to the Christ-child. For reasons known only to them, they were compelled to honour the boy and his parents with gifts that speak of royalty (gold), relationship with God (frankincense that was burned in the temple) and a message that, somehow, his death will be important (Myrrh). The Magi were seekers and worshippers. They were people who recognised God's leading and simply obeyed. There it is – a simple nativity. Each character representing real people who have an incredible story to tell. 

This episode contains two parts.  The first 25 minutes are thoughts on this week's lesson.  The second half is part of Season 1, Episode 3, about the Christmas Nativity.  I thought it might be nice to play it with your family as you get out your nativity this year.  The prophet has asked us to try to find ways the Lord speaks to us.  This little part of the lesson may just help you find the way he talks to you. Here is a link to the lesson in the manual. Don't forget to buy my book,  "Feasting on the Words of Christ." This book contains an easy five-step method for studying the Book of Mormon to receive personal direction in your life and answers to your prayers.  It's a perfect companion for this year's study of the Book of Mormon.  Available in print or Audible format.  GREAT CHRISTMAS GIFT!

Un dia radiant, ideal per escoltar una història pintoresca. Marta, Pau i Laia eren amics. Els agradava passejar per les estretes rambles del barri antic. Avui, es van trobar amb una situació ben curiosa.En: The sun rays were falling upon the colorful houses of the Gothic Quarter in Barcelona. It was a radiant day, ideal for listening to a picturesque story. Marta, Pau, and Laia were friends. They enjoyed strolling through the narrow streets of the old quarter. Today, they encountered a rather curious situation.Ca: Un turista alt amb ulleres de sol estava girant un "caganer", figura de ceràmica, amb cara confosa. No entenia el sentit de la figura en una bóta de Nadal. Marta, sempre amable, es va acostar a ell amb un somriure. Començà a explicar de què es tractava.En: A tall tourist with sunglasses was puzzled by a "caganer," a ceramic figure. He didn't understand the meaning of the figure in a Christmas Nativity scene. Marta, always kind, approached him with a smile. She began to explain what it was all about.Ca: "Pot semblar estrany," li digué, "però és una tradició molt nostra. El caganer representa l'equilibri de la natura i la fertilització de la terra." Ella li va senyalar detalls de la figura. El turista va escoltar amb interès, però semblava encara més confós.En: "It may seem strange," she said, "but it is a very unique tradition of ours. The 'caganer' represents the balance of nature and the fertilization of the earth." She pointed out details of the figure. The tourist listened with interest, but still appeared confused.Ca: Pau, el divertit del grup, va intervenir amb un somriure pícarament. "El caganer també afegeix un toc d'humor. Imagineu, un personatge fent les seves necessitats en un pessebre!" El turista va riure.En: Pau, the joker of the group, intervened with a mischievous smile. "The 'caganer' also adds a touch of humor. Just imagine, a character doing his business in a Nativity scene!" The tourist chuckled.Ca: Però ell encara tenia preguntes. "Però per què al pessebre, al costat de Jesús?". Aquí va intervenir Laia, la més culta. "No és cap falta de respecte. De fet, el caganer és tot un símbol de nostres festes".En: But he still had questions. "But why in the nativity scene, next to Jesus?" Laia, the most knowledgeable of the trio, stepped in. "It is not meant as disrespect. In fact, the 'caganer' is a significant symbol of our celebrations."Ca: Marta, Pau i Laia van passar una bona estona fent córrer la seva sabidoria. No tots els dies es té l'oportunitat d'explicar una de les nostres curioses tradicions a estranys. I el turista, per la seva part, estava encantat d'haver après una cosa tan única.En: Marta, Pau, and Laia had a good time sharing their wisdom. It's not every day you get the chance to explain one of our curious traditions to strangers. And the tourist, for his part, was delighted to have learned something so unique.Ca: Així, els tres amics continuaren el seu passeig, sabent que havien contribuït a difondre una mica més de la cultura catalana. I el turista? Doncs, agafà el caganer amb una rialla, decidit a portar aquesta peculiar tradició a casa seva.En: Thus, the three friends continued their stroll, knowing they had helped spread a bit more of Catalan culture. As for the tourist? Well, he took the "caganer" with a laugh, determined to bring this peculiar tradition to his home.Ca: La ciutat de Barcelona es trobava més viva que mai, tocada per l'esperit de compartir i l'alegria de la diversitat. Després de tot, com va dir Marta, "No hi ha res més humà que celebrar les nostres diferències". I amb aquesta nota d'esperança i unitat, es va tancar un altre dia bell i emocionant a la ciutat de Barcelona.En: The city of Barcelona was more alive than ever, touched by the spirit of sharing and the joy of diversity. After all, as Marta said, "There is nothing more human than celebrating our differences." With this note of hope and unity, another beautiful and exciting day came to a close in the city of Barcelona.

Your Christmas Nativity / Pastor Tim Perkins / 12.24.23

In this year's last installment of the collaborative The Two Kens podcast series, Fong first updates Kemp on how his relationship is going with Doreen, his high school girlfriend from half a century ago, then coaxes Kemp to read his latest Substack essay entitled The Baby and the Bathwater: What Is the Baby?. The focus of Kemp's mental exercise is what's left after growing numbers of conservative Christians "deconstruct" their beliefs. Are there still solid reasons to believe in and worship God? This leads to Fong and Kemp wondering aloud about the power and importance of Jungian archetypes and mythic figures and stories, and whether this lens can or should be applied to the Christmas Nativity.

Bishop Parkes reminds us of the 800th anniversary of the creation of the Nativity scene and its importance to the faithful.

Sleepy but strong, I clip-clopped along to rest in a stable with straw. The wonder of the first Christmas miracle is movingly told with descriptions of scented pine, warm candlelight, fresh hay, and a "sweet angel sound" as a gentle donkey welcomes the baby Jesus. Each page has adorable, moonlit images of the humble farm animals that were there to witness and comfort. This luminous, soothing song of hope, friendship, conviction, and faith is one that families will return to each Christmas for years to come. This books is available on Amazon.

I have always had this idea that I'd go into my grab bag of advice– actually two grab bags I have - and this episode is called My Grab Bag of Life. I recorded it in case you hear something that helps. Word of caution – it will be random. Some life things some flutey things and you'll hear about Sarah. I chose some Christmas Nativity music – this time my arrangement all played by me – of Morten Lauridsen's O Magnum Mysterium

Much of how we see Jesus' birth has come from the art work depicting those events. Based on facts, there are obviously a number of errors as well. But see through the eyes of Nephi in the Book of Mormon, what is the real message of that night?

Christmas Nativity #2: Joseph, Mary and the angel Gabriel

In today's episode I'll share with you one of my favorite metaphors from the Christmas Nativity story…that of the Innkeeper. One of the best lessons we can learn about Christmas and life comes from the simple line that Luke tells us was the state of the inns in Bethlehem and that was “and there was no room for them in the inn.” I hope that is a statement that will never be said of the inn that we keep!

Christmas Nativity #1: The Brutal History of Herod

CTM's debut audio drama from 2020 tells a moving and powerful story as we consider the life of Jesus from Mary, His mother's perspective. We pray this drama will enhance your Christmas Nativity celebration as we see His story memorialized through a dramatization of His mother, and how she was affected and blessed in her role of His story. We pray as we share these episodes afresh with you this holiday season, you will be drawn to Jesus in a new and special way. www.covenanttruthministries.com

In Lesson 2 of our Christmas Nativity special, Babylon to Bethlehem, we see more clearly how Daniel was influential in the wise men of centuries later who visited the young Child Jesus, and the reason for their visit to Bethlehem. www.covenanttruthministries.com
