This weekend Discovery Baptist is once again having their Living Nativity. Ben, Mai, and Charlie were one of four couples to portray Joseph, Mary, and Jesus. This was the first time I actually drove through and took in what was going on. Over 200 characters participated. You truly are transported into another world. Everyone is in character, from the Roman centurion who greets your "chariot" to the inn keeper who tells you to move on because there is no room. There is hustle and bustle at the beginning, with all of Bethlehem involved in the census, the towns people selling their wares and busily living life as you make your way through...
When you come to the manger scene however, it is very quiet.
So many missed just exactly what occurred over 2,000 years ago...God became flesh and dwelt among us. He who knew no sin entered His creation so He could become sin for us...giving those who turn from their sin and to Him, His righteousness...truly, an incredible exchange.
I'll post a few more pictures, soon...
