Where the Christmas Story Should Begin

Where the Christmas Story Should Begin

December 25, 2022 • Jeff Gardner

 The focus of much of the Christian world today and the days and weeks before now has been on the birth of a baby in a manger whose name would be called Immanuel, meaning God with us. And it’s a beautiful story which touches the heart and should be told, and told often. But the Christmas story really should not begin there. Today we will take a journey through the Scriptures with very little comment starting where the Christmas story should begin.  John 1:1-5 Genesis 1:1 Genesis 1:26-27 Genesis 2:18-23 Genesis 3:1-15 Genesis 12:1-3 Jeremiah 23:5-6 Isaiah 7:14 Micah 5:2-5 Isaiah 9:6-7 Philippians 2:5-8 John 1:9-14 Matthew 1:18-25 Luke 2:1-21 Matthew 2:1-11 Luke 23:23-24, 26 Luke 23:33-46 Luke 23:55—24:6 Philippians 2:9-11 Hebrews 4:14-16 Hebrews 7:25
