This is nothing new, and not original to me. However, Christmas is about Christ, and so many people think that Jesus is "New Testament" and somehow separate from the "Old Testament" and all those rules, etc. I think it is amazing and incredible how God revealed his Christ the Messiah to the world and his people all through scripture and history.
Enjoy!
