Worshiping at Christmas

The Sunday before Christmas, we look at the story of the Angel Gabriel coming to the Virgin Mary to tell her that she would conceive a son. A son, that would conquer death and provide a means of salvation to all that would accept Him as their savior. From the story, we glean how we can worship genuinely at Christmas: marvel at the miraculous, confront the reality of our lives and our condition, and finally, submit wholeheartedly to the Lord.
