A few years ago I made a discovery that amazed me. I discovered that God produced and directed a Christmas pageant that tells the amazing story of the birth of Jesus. There are several notable differences between God's Christmas pageant and any other Christmas pageant that you or I have ever seen or known. God didn't use actors or actresses to tell the story; He used stars and planets and constellations Nor did God set aside a few weeks before Christmas to begin preparations for His pageant; He set his pageant in motion thousands of years before the events actually took place
