Luke’s gospel tells us that the Magi followed signs in the stars to find Jesus. In Christmas Stars, we will be following the stars of the Christmas story on our way to encountering Jesus this Christmas. As we tell these stories, let’s look for the moments in these stories where unexpected characters are included in the story and how our expectations as an audience are constantly confounded. As we explore these stories let’s ask the question of why these people were included in the story, and what we can learn from each of their stories.
