Matthew 1:18 and Luke 1:26-28sets the stage for the story of the birth of Jesus. We are introduced to Mary and Joseph. A young engaged couple planning to spend the rest of their lives together. But then a curve ball. Luke says Mary is greatly troubled. You think? She knows that whatever comes out of that angel’s mouth next probably means her life i...
Time eventually proves the proclamation from the angel correct, Mary is indeed pregnant. But the struggles aren’t over yet. Caesar Augustus decreed that a census would be taken (Luke 2:1).

It was...
Traditionally the Christmas story also contains the 3 wisemen. We often think of the night that Jesus was born as this magical evening that would put any Hollywood movie to shame. They find a room in the nick of time, Jesus pops out nice and easy, and then all these people show up with gifts right on cue. But that’s not how it unfolded. First, it w...
On April 12, 1961, Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first human to travel into space and orbit the earth. The blow to the American psyche at losing this leg of the Space Race was deepened when reports began to circulate that, during his flight, Gagarin had commented: “I don’t see any God up here.” In response, C.S. Lewis wrote a work calle...
The Christmas story doesn’t just teach us that God is WITH us, but also that he is FOR us. Many of us have this view of God that He’s just waiting for us to screw up so he can punish us. But that’s not his desire for you. He wants a relationship with you. He’s not waiting for you to screw up so he can say Gotchaand throw you into hell to suffer. Ra...
The significance of the Christmas Story isn’t just for us personally. It’s for us to give away. That’s how the Gospel works. It’s not just for us to benefit from. It’s for us to give away. Jesus came to earth and entered into our story. The Christmas Story shows us that God isn’t scared by our messiness and sin. We should react the same way to thos...

The virgin birth is the means by which the holy Son of God was incarnate, born without sin. Second, the virgin birth also assumes the preexistent, divine sonship of Jesus. The virgin birth is fitting for one who is already Son of God before the incarnation. Our Savior is not only a man, but he is the divine Son of God.
As we have seen, the date of Dec. 25 was chosen not for Christ, but for the pagans who did not want to give it up. Interestingly, the biblical record proves that Jesus was not born anywhere near Dec. 25.
