December 25th has been designated the day to commemorate the day when Jesus of Nazareth was supposedly born in Bethlehem. That date may be an official holiday on our calendars, but it is not the actual birth date of the Savior of the world.
In the Gleanings from the Nativity series, we will attempt to focus our attention on all the key players who surround the birth of the Christ Child. Some characters offer examples of true biblical submission to the will and Word of God; others demonstrate steadfast perseverance under trying circumstances, while still others show the consequences of doubting the Word of God.
If our Saviour had not been born, lived a sinless life, and been crucified to atone for our sins, we would not have any means by which we could be saved. The events and persons surrounding our Lord’s birth, all have important lessons to teach us both positively and negatively.
We must remember that Jesus Christ was not just a man, but He was totally God and totally man. Jesus Christ was God in the flesh Who ministered to the needs of humanity, by bringing many to faith in Himself as their Savior and Lord .
