Nativity Story Review

What do you really know about the Christmas story? Does what you know come from a children's skit or a quick read through one of the Bible's accounts? Maybe it is simply from seeing a nativity scene. Whatever the case, there is so, so much to this story, and "The Nativity Story" will do a great job introducing you to many of the themes. That's right, there is much more the movie could have done, but what is there is very moving and is a must see this Christmas season. My only significant complaint is that the angel scenes were weak. One thing that stood out to me personally was the suffering that Mary and Joseph went through. Wouldn't God take better care of the parents of Jesus? Yet God was working in ways that Joseph and Mary couldn't understand at the time, and they knew it. They placed their faith in Him even when it didn't make sense. What a great example for all of us.
