For To Us: The Birth of Jesus Christ

Throughout the Old Testament stories which span centuries, God progressively revealed more about the Jewish Messiah that He would send to His people. Thousands of people anticipated His coming and wondered if their generation would be the one. When the time had fully come, God sent His angel Gabriel to penetrate the veil between the spiritual realm and the natural realm and appear to young teenage girl who had found favor with God. With little revelation of what she was getting into, Mary embraced motherhood.

Experience the greatness of Jesus’ birth and open your eyes to how God engages with mankind. Contemplate Joseph’s perspective of his betrothed’s predicament. Journey with Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem because of a Roman census. Listen to the angels sing in a shepherd’s field in Bethlehem. Follow the star and travel with the wise men for 700 miles in search of the prophesied Messiah so they could also worship Him.
