As I was reading this Christmas story again this week, it struck me that that’s how most of the people in the Christmas story must have been feeling. Joseph has ...read more

But we also see the relationship between God and man redefined in a way that is beautiful and moving - and symbolism become reality as Jesus decrees a new ...read more
