Now What?
Luke 2:21-40
December 26, 2021
You spent the last month preparing. You planned menus, picked up supplies and prepared the family feast. You bought gifts and wrapped them and placed them under the tree. Christmas Day passed in a flurry, a swirling vortex of food and family and presents and joy.…. Now what? What happens when the thing we’ve been waiting for has come and gone? What happens next? We learn a lot from the events Luke records in the passage that follows the story of Jesus’ birth.
