In a recent devotion, I came across a Christmas story in an unexpected place: the middle of Luke’s gospel, fifteen chapters after the traditional Christmas story.

Luke 18:35-43 tells of a twice-burdened man: a roadside beggar who is also blind. Each day he’s forced to plead and scrape—in darkness—just to survive. No doubt he lives by patterns.
