Several years ago in Ottawa, I had the joying to telling the Christmas story at a Christian Embassy banquet for Canadian Members of Parliament and ambassadors from a wide variety of nations. The challenge was the time limit: I was allotted three minutes on the program.
Having a three-minute time limit turned out to be a blessing. It forced me to focus on essential aspects and get to the heart of the message. I’ve been able to give this short-version of the Christmas story to friends from our community and people I’ve met as we’ve traveled.
In previous years, I’ve posted the text of my three-minute Christmas talk on our website. It’s been one of our most read and shared posts. So this year, we’ve put the talk into a digital flipbook. If you’d like a copy to download for yourself and to pass along to others, you can access it by clicking here.
