God's Christmas Lights are... Overpowering
God takes us as those who are lost in the dim darkness and offers us a light so overpowering that nothing can stop it — or His mission He sends us on.
The Name Matters and So Does the Nature
Jesus shows us both His nature and a recognizable “name” so that we can understand Him — and understand what we really need to know.

Mystery Ahead of Christmas
Every year, OFB’s Tim Butler assembles a Twelve Days of Christmas booklet to help anyone interested in meditating on the miracle of Christmas over that season between December 25 and Epiphany. This year’s booklet is the Kings Before, looking at Old Testament kings and what they do to help us understand who Jesus is. The first day’s reading appears on this page exclusively ahead of the full release on Christmas night.
