The Two Christmas Stories
Type of Event: Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon
Date Recorded: December 21, 2025
Location: Westville, RSA
Topics: Christmas
We often talk about "The Christmas Story" as if it were one contained story. But really there are two: one in the Gospel of Matthew, the other in the Gospel of Luke. In the first, the danger of Herod looms large, Joseph has to work hard to keep the family safe, and wise men from the East bring gifts. In the second, Mary is central, there is no room for them in the inn, and shepherds come to adore the little infant. These two different versions tell us a lot about the two distinct ways we receive the Lord into our own lives.
