Merry Christmas! This is a tremendous time of year to read the original Christmas story and to (re) familiarize yourself with the birth of Jesus! I am very excited to share this podcast with YOU today. As you know, my passion is to help others dive deeper into the Bible and to receive revelation from the Holy Spirit on His anointed Words that can change your life. And guess what… the Christmas story is literally pregnant with revelation about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ that you probably have never heard before! I know I didn’t!
I had grown up believing, like so many others, that Jesus was born in a little, dusty stable in Bethlehem, and he laid in a little wood manger. I also believed that three little wise men showed up with their pretty little gifts: gold, francencense, and myrrh; and that was it. I figured God sent the angels to those shepherds for no real reason except that He wanted to announce Jesus’ birth to rich and poor alike. I had no idea that there was any deeper significance to the events that surround Jesus’ birth than what we see on greeting cards and kids movies.
But the truth is, when God sent His one and only Son, the Savior of the world–the King of Kings–He did not leave anything to chance. God’s hand is all over the entire Christmas story, and I want to share the truths about this unequaled story that have forever changed my perspective on who Jesus is and how He came to earth.
For example,
- What, if any, is the significance of the swaddling clothes Jesus was wrapped in?
- What exactly is a manger, and why did Jesus lay in it?
- Who were the wise men, and when did they come to see Jesus?
- Why did the angels show up to those specific shepherds?
I pray that you are forever changed by the truths of God’s Word that I unearth in this powerful, enlightening, and exciting episode that celebrates the birth of our Lord Jesus.
Enjoy the podcast!
