The Greatest Story Ever Told is the story of God's Only Begotten Son, Jesus. Today we will look at three of the main characters in the story of the birth of Jesus Christ. Mary, The Virgin Mother; Joseph, the Stand-in Father; and Gabriel, the Messenger of the Lord. My prayer is that as we study today that we will pay close attention to these familiar narratives. Also, I pray that the Holy Spirit will reveal to us new insights that we might easily read right past because of the familiarity of the story.
