Author Description

“When the time came to completion, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.” Galatians 4:4–5 The birth story of Christ is one of the most well-known in Scripture, and we often turn to the passages in Matthew and Luke as part of our Christmas tradition. Many of us can even recite the major facts of this famous story. But is there more to Christ’s birth than just being able to state those facts?
