The Characters of Christmas by Dan Darling

Dan darling takes a fresh look at the christmas story by getting to know the major and minor characters that played a part in jesus' birth. Advent represents a coming, rather than a going away, but holds a similar tension. We are twice waiting, first with nation of israel, waiting for the messiah, and then with christians around the world,. waiting for the time when god will wipe away every tear from their eyes. The joyous paradox of advent, by catherine britton, read by kelly jane mc lyn, be dressed and ready for service, and keep your lamps burning like men waiting for their master to return from a wedding banquet.
