The Meaning of Christmas

What is the meaning of Christmas? Christmas is not just a holiday; it is the celebration of the birth of the Messiah! But that momentous event can get overlooked in the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season.

In this week’s episode, I join John and Val Clark to discuss “10 Things You Should Know About Christmas.” It is a great reminder so we do not forget the most important gift of all during the Christmas season!

As John and Val summarize, in this conversation you will hear:

✨ Why Jesus’s birth in Bethlehem was not his beginning; it was the beginning of his earthly mission

✨ How Jesus’s birth marked the culmination of centuries of prophetic expectations

✨ Why it is so important to differentiate between cultural and biblical Christmas

✨ Why the Christmas story is part of the larger narrative about why Jesus came
