Christmas: A Scriptural Study of the Revelation of Christ

Product Description


Despite human misconceptions about Christmas story, the actual facts about Jesus Christ are more marvelous than words can express. Journey back to the true beginning of Christ’s story, even BEFORE Genesis, and then proceed in order through the exciting, key events preceding His birth, and then on through his life, death, resurrection, and beyond. He was indeed born of a virgin in the city of Bethlehem exactly as prophesied many years before. He was conceived in Mary, not by man, but by the Holy Spirit of God. He was “in the beginning” of creation with God as He “created the heavens and the earth,” and with God when He said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness ...” Genesis 1:1, 26 (NIV) To explain further, John the Apostle stated that Christ existed, as God, BEFORE the Creation of the world (John 1), and reveals Christ as "the Alpha and the Omega ... who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty ... the First and the Last.” Revelation 1 (NIV). He is part of the Holy Trinity we know as God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit). The Son of God came in human form, as the revelation of God, for a purpose—to die as a willing sacrifice in payment for the sins of mankind. He did this to provide eternal salvation as a free gift of God’s grace to all who will accept it and follow Him.As we take a closer look at the biblical text itself, a magnificent- and hopefully more accurate- picture emerges of WHO Christ is and what happened that night in Bethlehem. The Christmas story still stands as one of the most monumental events in human history. God became a man and entered our gloomy, cold world to redeem a sinful people. This is a story that makes Christmas worthy of the name of Christ!
