We begin our Christmas series with John the Baptist's call in the wilderness to prepare the way of the Lord. This is the call on our lives that reminds us that we are in need of a savior. The joy of Christmas is that we are welcoming the birth of the one who can save us from our sin.
The birth of Jesus was seen around the world in the form of a start in the sky. The sheperds and the wise men saw it, recognized its significance and were drawn to it. We can still see the light of the Risen Christ today and follow it.
