Series: A Who-Ville Christmas

I love this video. It reminds me that while Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year, if we're not careful, it can get lost in translation and become a bit confusing. B/w the birth of Jesus, Santa/his reindeer, Frosty and characters like the Grinch, amidst the tinsel/toys and stockings hung by the chimney, it's easy to NOT know what is what and who is who - whether we're talking about Cindy Lou or Cindy who!
I read about two UGA co-eds who in the Christmas spirit, went out into the woods off campus looking to hunt/chop down Christmas tree for their apartment. After being out for hours in sub-zero temps w/ several close calls w/ coyotes, one of the girls said to the other, ''I'm fed up... I'm tired... I'm cold. The next tree we see I'm cutting it down. I don't care if it's decorated or not!'' The other said... ''I agree!''
This Christmas season, as we look at the true meaning of Christmas and the gift of God to all mankind, I thought it might be appropriate to look at the who's who of God's Christmas story - hence a Who-ville Christmas. That is, WHO are the people in God's Christmas story.
When Jesus came special delivery to be our Savior, it was a dark time for Israel. It'd been 400 yrs since God had spoken and the people were groping in darkness - suffering under the hand of Roman occupation. Their spiritual leaders were shackled by tradition, corrupted by power, and pawns in Herod's hands. Yet no matter how dark the day, God hadn't forgotten His people. He knew their need - and the time had arrived for God to break His silence and offer a solution to their need. Then it happened - after 400 yrs, God spoke. First, to a humble, Godly priest named Zacharias - and then to a teenage girl named Mary. Read Luke 1:26-56
When I think of Mary, I think of one question - Why me?
Now this is a question familiar to most ...
