THREAD: An oft overlooked Christmas narrative—Ezekiel 1–11—,

complete with clay tablets, unclean food, and idolatry in the Temple.

#ChristmasCheer
One of the primary themes of Luke’s birth narrative(s) is the return of God’s presence and glory to his Temple,

which is hinted at in at least three different ways by Luke.
First, we have Mary’s *pregnancy*.

Just as God’s glory overshadows the tabernacle before it’s taken to a new place (Exodus 40), so too the Holy Spirit overshadows *Mary*,

who sets out for Judah soon afterwards (1.35–39).
