Matthew Shares the History

December 12, 2021 • Rusty Coram

The story of the birth of Jesus is the culmination of Biblical prophecy, wrapped in political controversy and hope. It’s important to understand all of it in order to fully appreciate the magnitude of Jesus’ arrival on earth.

Introduction

The Christmas story is so much more than a baby in a manger with a supporting cast of characters. It is the unfolding of the single most important event in history. It is God coming to save a lost world. Not wanting us to miss the importance of this historic event, God orchestrated four written accounts to document the essential details and meaning of Christ’s coming. Each of these four accounts has a unique perspective and emphasis. Together, they paint a compelling picture of love and hope.
