An Advent story entitled “An Unexpected Lesson” led to a captivating lesson from ChatGPT.
Requested to write a story on an unexpected consequence in Matthew 2, on a lark, I asked ChatGPT for help: “Please write me a 250 to 300 word Advent story that focuses on the Bible story of the three wise men following the star to Bethlehem. The plot should highlight the unexpected consequence of their tarrying with Herod which allows Herod to order the death of newborn boys.”
