We all love a good story. A well-crafted story contains a beginning, middle, and end. The plot keeps the reader engaged as conflict moves to resolution. However, it’s the characters in the story that give life to the plot. It’s the characters that readers connect with and remember long after a story is told. There is no other time of year where the celebration of a season dramatically fills the air like Christmas. Yet Christmas is a powerful story of how God gave the greatest gift of his Son for the salvation of people. God uses characters that bring this story to life. In this series on the Characters of Christmas, we’ll engage people as they respond to God’s plan. There are moments when what God calls these people and us to do will appear impossible—and as we move in faith, the impossible becomes a reality.
