The Nativity

All about the First Christmas

Overview

The Biblical account of Christ’s Second Coming, when He descends through the clouds and puts down decisively every one of His enemies, shows Him in all His grandeur. In contrast, the Biblical account of His birth shows Him in all His humility, for to accomplish our salvation He was willing to become a helpless babe under the care of a Jewish couple who had neither wealth nor social prestige to recommend them. In all likelihood they were just teenagers living at the edge of poverty.

Features

Our study of Jesus' birth digs deeply for three kinds of truth: 1) an accurate picture of this critical moment in redemptive history, 2) the fullest possible perspective provided by key events preceding and following it, and 3) the historical context of these events.
