The Eternal Plan Of A Sovereign God

A Roman Emperor issues a decree and causes a poor carpenter and his pregnant wife to travel ninety miles to the home of their ancestors. 

Certain shepherds just happen to be tending their flocks outside the very town the  couple are going.  

Angelic beings just happen to show up at the right place, at the right time and with the right message. 

These things didn’t just happen. They were the work of a Sovereign God accomplishing His eternal plan.

The true essence of Christmas is the virgin birth of a baby—not just any baby, but a baby who was and is God is human flesh.

Luke 2:7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

When you get a handle on who Jesus is, your whole concept of Christmas changes forever. It’s about God becoming a man to die for sinners.
